Free agents who can push Packers’ defense over the top: Linval Joseph

Packers’ fans are probably also familiar with defensive lineman Linval Joseph after he made a come-up in Minnesota from 2014 to 2019 and made two Pro Bowl appearances during that span.

Joseph has spent the last two years in Los Angeles with the Chargers and has continued to dominate on the interior. He’s an elite run-stopper and would provide a nice upgrade over Tyler Lancaster who remains on the free agent market. He even produced some pass-rushing abilities last season, however, that likely can’t be counted on moving forward.
