Free agency begins in a couple of weeks, and the Packers appear to be willing to spend big to fix their biggest issue on defense.
Former Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro inside linebacker Cory Littleton is set to hit free agency, and the Packers are reportedly interested. According to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, Littleton is the Packers’ “No. 1 priority among this year’s free-agent linebackers”.
That’s potentially significant news, even if unsurprising. It shows the Packers are willing to pay a top free agent at a position of need, which wouldn’t be a cheap deal to make.
