The Packers offered big-money multi-year deals to Adrian Amos, Billy Turner, Preston Smith, and Za’Darius Smith, with each starting immediately, upgrading their position group dramatically, and, most importantly, playing up to their contracts. That just doesn’t happen every year.
The Packers also have big decisions in 2021 regarding David Bakhtiari, Kenny Clark, Aaron Jones, Kevin King, and Corey Linsley. Adding all of that up, the Packers free agent signings of 2020 have been logical moves. They cover needs, keep the coffers well-stocked, and give the Packers breathing room for the 2020 draft.
Rick Wagner, Christian Kirksey, and newly-signed Devin Funchess don’t pop the way last year’s class, but each deal was team-friendly and covered a need of the team.
