Free agents Packers should look into: Rick Wagner, OT

It will be difficult to onboard any player this late in the season which is why adding a familiar face in right tackle Rick Wagner might be the way to go.

Wagner spent last season with the Packers and is familiar with the offensive concepts. He had a pretty good season as well before deciding not to play football this season (and possibly for good). However, the Packers should try to entice him to come out of his retirement and join the squad for the stretch run.

Wagner could be another option in the event of yet another injury to one of their tackles. He could also step in at right tackle, moving Turner inside for additional support, when he gets his feet under him.
