There are a few factors at work this offseason for the Green Bay Packers that could lead to GM Brian Gutekunst taking a bit of a bigger swing in free agency.
“I think we’re getting to a little bit better spot than we have been in the past,” said Gutekunst at his season-ending press conference. “It’s never perfect, but I do feel that whatever opportunities are out there to improve our team in free agency, that we’ll be able to do that, so I feel good about that.”
For one, the window to win is right now, and maximizing that opportunity with impact players is, of course, going to make sense.
