But I did like what Packers general manager Ted Thompson did. Instead of getting T.J. Watt, he was able to squeeze even more value and turn it into potential starting cornerback Kevin King and Biegel.
However, where Thompson could’ve added even more insurance was at outside linebacker. He is counting on Nick Perry, who has been riddled with injuries his entire career, and Clay Matthews, who has also been stung with injuries and has lacked explosion coming off the edge.
More outside linebackers in the stable would’ve allowed Matthews to play more of a hybrid role, which he has excelled at in the past.
