Dream free agents for Packers: Michael Thomas, Wide Receiver

Michael Thomas would be the ultimate dream free agent target for Green Bay. Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb are free agents, leaving a void regarding a veteran receiver in this group.

Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Samori Toure are impressionable and need someone to guide their work ethic and day-to-day operations in the NFL. Thomas is the ultimate professional and can help teach them about running routes and the details it takes to be successful in the NFL.

He should also have something left in the tank. Thomas could be a safety valve for the Packers’ quarterback, always in the right spots at the right time. He won’t make splash plays, but can be the underneath receiver in the Packers’ offense.
