The Packers had always avoided much business in free agency, in part because former General Manager Ted Thompson was able to draft enough contributors to get away with it.
But with yesterday’s departure of linebacker Jake Ryan to Jacksonville, it closes the books on an entire draft class of Packers.
As noted by Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, former fourth-rounder Ryan was the last member of the Packers’ 2015 draft class still with the team.
First-round defensive back Damarious Randall was traded to Cleveland a year ago, for backup quarterback DeShone Kizer.
