Tom Oates: Here's an offseason game plan for the Packers

The Green Bay Packers are like every other NFL team with free agency set to begin later this week and the draft a little more than a month away.

Their offseason game plan is written in sand.

Indeed, nothing is set it stone for NFL teams at a time when one decision, one signing, one whiff can render the entire plan obsolete.

This offseason is particularly fluid for the Packers, who have many holes to fill both in their starting lineup and among key rotational players. Green Bay has some decent capital — a middle-of-the-pack $34 million in salary-cap room and 10 draft picks — but it also has dire needs at outside linebacker, safety, defensive end, inside linebacker, tight end, slot receiver, offensive tackle, guard and running back.
