Wide receiver Packers should target in free agency: T.Y. Hilton

T.Y. Hilton would be a huge boost to the Packers’ wide receiver group, at least for a couple of seasons. At 31-years-old, he should have a couple of good seasons left which means the Packers could offer him a short-term contract to enlist his services.

It’s now been a couple of years (2018 to be exact) since he put up a 1,000-yard season and he’s coming off a down year for the Indianapolis Colts. However, there are lots of reasons to believe he can bounce back, including playing with an improved quarterback and getting another year of health under his belt. He won’t command top money like other receivers on the market which means the Packers could try to sneak in and sign him.
