The three most important Packers’ free agents are a trio of skill position players on offense. Robert Tonyan enjoyed a breakout 2020 campaign and proved to be a capable playmaker in the passing offense. Green Bay would love for him to replicate his success in 2021. Allen Lazard is another secondary weapon behind Davante Adams. With all the leverage Green Bay has with Tonyan and Lazard, it’s highly unlikely they go anywhere else.

Aaron Jones, however, is a different story. The Packers would love to keep him, and reportedly offered him top-five running back money. That wasn’t good enough for Jones and he ended up hiring a new agent. Jones is probably a luxury they can’t afford, but he’s proven his worth as a top playmaker.
