Before I get started on the argument of sitting out traditional free agency, I want to define what I mean by that. The Green Bay Packers will sign players this spring. What I mean is that Green Bay will not sign any meaningful players whose contracts expire at the end of the league year.
Compensatory picks have long been a part of the Packers’ offseason plans, and they are likely to impact their decision making once again this off-season. The Packers just received compensation picks for the loss of Blake Martinez, Bryan Bulaga, and Kyler Fackrell that they’ll be able to use in the 2021 NFL Draft.
