Cheese Curds, 5/19: Packers’ linebacker units will look very different in 2017

Both sets of linebacker positions are in a state of flux in Green Bay this offseason. The Packers have taken steps to revamp the roster at both spots this spring as the team looks to improve the defense from a poor finish to last season.

On the edge, the Packers lost a few key contributors in free agency and although they re-signed their top pass-rusher from last season, they did not bring in any additional veterans to supplement those lost snaps. Instead, they will rely on a handful of rookies and second-year players to fill out the back end of the roster behind a trio of veterans.
