18. Parry Nickerson (Restricted)

17. James Burgess (Unrestricted)

16. Malik Taylor (Exclusive Rights)

15. Randy Ramsey (Exclusive Rights)

14. Yosh Nijman (Exclusive Rights)

13. Billy Winn (Unrestricted)

None of these players will move the needle much in any direction no matter what happens with them. Parry Nickerson and James Burgess didn’t see the field at all for Green Bay. The Packers will desperately need cornerback depth so Nickerson could return on that merit alone.

Malik Taylor, Randy Ramsey, Yosh Nijman and Billy Winn all mostly contributed on special teams this season. I’m not sure if that’s something they should be proud of, however. Ramsey (edge), Nijman (offensive tackle), and Winn (defensive line) play critical positions Green Bay needs depth at so it’s very possible they all return.
