The Green Bay Packers are desperately trying to keep their championship window open as long as possible, but that may be very difficult considering all of the challenges facing them this offseason.

Green Bay enters the offseason with the mandatory task of cutting tens of millions of dollars to get under the salary cap. That will likely cost them some of their best players and force them to make other difficult decisions about who they can/want to keep. Let’s make six bold predictions about what’s in store during this pivotal offseason.

The Green Bay Packers have a lot of tough decisions to make and here are six bold predictions for what’s in store this offseason.

Bold predictions for Packers’ offseason: Re-sign Kevin King

Packers’ fans were upset when Green Bay brought Kevin King back last offseason so why would they do it again? King had one of his worst seasons as a pro and fell completely out of the cornerback rotation by the end of the season, hurting his value on the open market.

One move the Packers can make to save money is to re-sign King to a one-year veteran minimum contract. Ken Ingalls, a Packers’ salary cap guru on Twitter, pointed out this move. By signing him to that deal, it would actually save Green Bay $1.2 million over letting him sign with another team in free agency. Of course, King would have to take the minimum but it’s a deal worth pursuing.
