Packers: 9 important players entering final year of contract
Important Packers entering final year of contract: Every single wide receiver not named Amari Rodgers
The Packers have a unique issue at wide receiver, as just about everyone of importance has one year remaining on their deals. That includes Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimous St. Brown, Devin Funchess, Malik Taylor, Juwann Winfree and Reggie Begelton. It’s quite impressive, actually.
They won’t be able to bring back everyone, as most guys are in line for a significant raise. Adams should definitely be at the top of their list considering he’s one of the game’s best receivers. He was recently honest about the Rodgers’ situation affecting his decision about whether to re-sign or not.
Besides Adams, Green Bay will likely wait to see how the season plays out between Lazard and Valdes-Scantling to decide who to bring back. They are completely different players with different skill sets so Gutekunst and co. will have to decide which player is the better fit long term.
