How Ted Thompson deals with the Packers’ list of free agents next season is going to be crucial. The Packers will lose good players, it’s impossible to keep them all, so Thompson will need a plan in place to ensure the departing names are adequately replaced.
The process could already be underway, you only have to look at the 2016 draft class. The Packers selected two offensive linemen — tackles Jason Spriggs and Kyle Murphy — which is important as four key linemen are set to hit free agency next term.
Pass rushers Julius Peppers, Datone Jones and Nick Perry will be free agents.
