Either Brian Gutekunst is holding his cards close to his chest, or the Green Bay Packers will be bringing back outside linebacker Preston Smith for the 2021 season.
Gutekunst, the Packers general manager, said Tuesday that he’s expecting to have Smith back despite speculation that the veteran edge rusher could be a cap casualty.
“Preston has played a lot of really good football for us, and certainly we’d like to have him back next year. He’s under contract, so we certainly expect him to be back,” Gutekunst said, via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
