Dream free agent wide receivers for Packers: D.J. Chark

If the Packers truly want to swing for the fences, Chark is their man.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected him in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, but he failed to live up to the hype. In four seasons there, he only played in 30 games and amassed 147 receptions for 2042 yards and 15 touchdowns. Injuries limited his ability to stay on the field and produce.

He signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Detroit Lions last year, hoping to stay healthy and showcase his skillset. Unfortunately, he got hurt again and missed six games in the middle of the season. He did return with a vengeance and showed off his elite speed and playmaking ability. Chark would give Green Bay two elite downfield threats.
