In a previous post I argued that shoring up Green Bay’s defensive backfield should be Job 1 for the Packers, and I urged that safety Morgan Burnett be re-signed to a multi-year contract. Now let’s talk about the rest of the team’s DBs.
On the Packers’ current 75-man roster are these safeties: Kentrell Brice, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Marwin Evans, Josh Jones, and Jerome Whitehead.
The roster also lists these cornerbacks: Donatello Brown, Demetri Goodson, Josh Hawkins, Kevin King, Lenzy Pipkins, Damarious Randall, Quinten Rollins, and Herb Waters.
I’m going to assume that defensive coordinator Mike Pettine will be given a wide berth by coach Mike McCarthy to fill out the season-opening defensive roster and practice squad spots as he sees fit.
