The third aspect of the Green Bay Packer defense is their inside linebackers, which will be completely and totally different in 2020. General Manager Brian Gutekunst made it very, very clear at the beginning of the offseason that they needed to reset their personnel at the inside linebacker, and with letting Blake Martinez and B.J. Goodson walk in free agency, he did just that.
As Green Bay was tied to the likes of Nick Kwiatkowski and Corey Littleton for free-agent signees, they ended up signing neither of them, instead, jumping on Cleveland Brown castaway Christian Kirksey for a two-year, $16 million deal before free agency opened up.
