With free agency looming, it is very possible that the Green Bay Packers may look to shake things up throughout the roster.
For starters, the team’s offensive line may look a little different heading into next season. There is speculation that the team might cut ties with longtime tackle Bryan Bulaga who has faced multiple injuries throughout the past two years, making him not very dependable. He is signed through 2020 and owed just under 7 million a year. Expect the team to look for possible replacements for him if they cut Bulaga lose.
The Packers could look to bring back former offensive guard Josh Sitton as Bulaga’s replacement. Sitton played both guard and tackle for the Packers before, and they could look to use him at both slots going into 2018.
The Pack could also look to target offensive lineman Duane Brown of the Seattle Seahawks as a new weapon. Brown is expected to be a salary cap casualty going into next season and the Seahawks have little money to spare on an already money-maxed out defensive team.
Taking a look at the Packer’s receiving core could be a little different going into next season as well. The team is currently using Geranimo Allison in the WR4 spot, but could look to replace his mostly unproductiveness with Philadelphia Eagles receiver Torrey Smith. Smith has been a reliable player for last organizations and he would likely take a lower scale salary to sign with a playoff contender like Green Bay.
The Packers could also look into signing Baltimore Raven’s receiver Jeremy Maclin who is another likely casualty of the salary cap. With an aging Jordy Nelson and a unreliable young receiver in Trevor Davis, the Packers could look to new options to satisfy their production needs.
