6. A.J. Green

Similar to Henry, A.J. Green is a huge injury risk. That shouldn’t scare Green Bay away from him, as they should definitely pursue him in free agency. Green is one of the most explosive wide receivers in the game even at 31-years-old.

His 6-foot-4 frame also gives quarterback Aaron Rodgers a huge target on the outside. He provides an extra red zone weapon–something no team can have enough of. With Davante Adams getting most of the attention from defenses Green should be able to thrive with less attention than he’s ever received. If the Packers’ medical staff feels confident his history with foot and toe injuries can be mitigated, there’s no reason not to go after him.

5. Chris Harris Jr.

The Packers have spent a ton of high draft capital in the past few seasons trying to upgrade their secondary. Guys like Jaire Alexander, Kevin King, Josh Jackson and Darnell Savage Jr. have all been drafted in the first two rounds. Not to mention all the money they threw at Adrian Amos last free agency.

Still, they continue to have some issues in their secondary and Chris Harris. Jr could help solve them. At 31, his best days are behind him and he’s coming off the worst season of his career. Theoretically, that could lower his price tag and allow him to arrive in Green Bay on a discounted contract and lower expectations. It could also decrease the pressure on King’s shoulder who was as up and down as a roller coaster last season.
