2021 NFL Free Agency Preview: Centers

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The free-agent negotiating period begins on March 15, with free agents able to officially sign contracts when the league-year starts at 3 p.m. on March 17.

Our series of free-agent previews continues with the centers.

The Packers’ Picture

Packers Need (1-10 scale): 7. With Corey Linsley headed to free agency and almost certain to sign elsewhere, the Packers will be breaking in a new center for the first time since Linsley replaced injured J.C. Tretter for the opener in 2014. There are in-house options. Lucas Patrick has made 21 career starts, with 15 of those at guard in 2020.
