The Green Bay Packers will likely continue overhauling the wide receiver position this offseason. They traded away Davante Adams last year, drafted three players at the position, and will probably add and take away from wide receiver once again.

Allen Lazard is a free agent and is projected to get about $11 million a year. That’s too hefty a price for Green Bay to pay someone of Lazard’s caliber. The Packers are starting the offseason above the salary cap, but there’s a way for them to create almost $30 million in cap space. 

If they can create the room, here are the top six free-agent wide receivers available in descending order.

If the Green Bay Packers want to upgrade their wide receiver position this offseason, here are the top six free agents projected to be available.

Top Free Agent Wide Receivers for Packers: Parris Campbell, Indianapolis Colts

Campbell could be a buy-low option for Green Bay. Since being selected in the second round of the 2019 draft out of Ohio State, he’s only played in 32 out of a possible 66 career games due to injuries.

However, he took a positive step in 2022, suiting up for all 17 games and catching 63 passes for 623 yards and three touchdowns. At 25 years old, he could be a nice addition to the receiving corps as someone with untapped potential.
