In 2019, the had one of the most succe sful offseasons in the . General manager Brian Gutekunst put the finishing touches on a two-year overhaul of his team's defense, adding , , , , and to the mix in order to bolster both the pa s rush and the back end of the defense. The results were about as good as the team could have hoped for.The Smiths combined for 25.5 sacks, 28 tackles for lo s, and 60 quarterback hits. Amos started all 16 games at safety, while Savage started 14. Gary worked in as a rotational rusher behind the starters. Under-the-radar pickups like and B.J. Goodson played rotational roles as well, and adding those guys to a core that already included , , , , and helped make the Packers one of the NFL's better defense.The defense helped lift the Packers to a 13-3 season. But Green Bay's record was better than its point differential suggested it should have been, and in the NFC title game, the ran all over them and the game was e sentially over by halftime. Had the Packers offense been able to pick up some of the slack that may not have been the case, but unfortunately, Green Bay's offense took a step backward in 2019. and coach Matt LaFleur often seemed to be on different pages, but Rodgers' play also just dipped in general. That' Victor Oladipo Jersey s not surprising given that 2019 was his age-36 season; but it does indicate that he is now a quarterback who needs at least a little Cassius Stanley Jersey bit of help from his supporting cast, rather than one who can overcome any and every shortcoming the roster has. Last season's shortcomings included one of the worst wide receiver groups in the league outside of , a situation the Packers absolutely have to addre s this offseason. Former general manager Ted Thompson drafted a few wideouts in 2018 ( , , and Equanimeous St. Brown), but only one is even a rotation player in the NFL and he has not distinguished himself as a difference-maker. The team's tight end position was also a problem, with looking like a shell of himself and 2019 third-rounder appearing in only six regular-season games and not making a single catch until he had three of them in the Packers' two playoff games.The Packers also continued to have split backfield work with a clearly inferior back in , which helped reduce the team's offensive efficiency. The Packers were simply far better with Jones on the field than off, but a reluctance to commit to him as the full-time feature back is now a two-year and two-coach-long i sue.Heading into the 2020 offseason, the Packers desperately need to add pa sing-game talent. They need to entrust Jones as the full-time back. They need to make sure Rodgers is well-protected by re-signing right tackle . And they need to figure out a way to get all their defensive talent to perform at a high level at the same time -- and how not to get completely gashed by opposing run games at the worst po sible time.

It would not be in any way surprising if none of the team's free agent receivers except for (see below) were back next season, considering the group's underperformance this year and last. Allison, in particular, seemed to lose Rodgers' trust over the past couple of years and was not a major factor in the rotation by the playoffs. Ervin seemed like a favorite of the coaching staff, even siphoning away some of Aaron Jones' work while Jamaal Williams was out, but the team should not be afraid to give Jones a larger share in the future. Williams re-emerged as a decent slot corner this season, but he is getting up there in age and the team might be better served investing in some more youth at the position.Restricted free agentsOG (ERFA)TE (ERFA)WR (ERFA)WR Allen Lazard (ERFA)FB DE (ERFA)DB Chandon Sullivan (ERFA)S (ERFA)Lazard, Johnson, Lancaster, and Sullivan carved out solid roles on the team last season, and one would think the Packers would like to have them all back on relatively cheap deals. Kumerow has flashed some interesting skills on occasion, but as mentioned, the wide receiver room in Green Bay needs an overhaul. If the Packers elect not to bring Lewis back, then Tonyan could return as a backup tight end.

Crosby is getting a $6 million payment in Year 1 even though he's been for the past several years. If he does so again and the Packers elect to cut ties after 2020, they'll save only $2.5 million and have a $2 million dead cap charge on their books. 2020 draft picksRound 1: Green Bay (30)Round 2: Green Bay (62)Round 3: Green Bay (94)Round 4: Green Bay (TBD)Round 5: Green Bay (TBD)Round 6: Green Bay (TBD), Las Vegas (TBD), Tenne see (TBD)Round 7: None Rumors, reports, and updates : Packers sign offensive tackle Ricky Wagner to a two-year, $11 million contract Packers sign linebacker Christian Kirksey to a two-year, $16 million contract : Packers sign kicker Mason Crosby through 2022 with $12.9M extension, per reports: Former Packers DC Dom Capers returns to NFC North as Vikings' senior defensive a sistant: Packers GM expects to face restrictions in free agency as team looks to retain talent : Packers to reportedly retain defensive coordinator Aaron Holiday Jersey Mike Pettine despite n
