We’ve arrived at the legal tampering period, otherwise known as free agency frenzy. The Packers, who entered Monday still needing to shed more than $40 million to get under the cap before the start of the new league year, weren’t expected to be big spenders outside of their in-house pending free agents. Several moves were made by the Pack on the opening day of free agency frenzy, leaving fans a clearer sense of what the team needs to address going forward. These are the Packers’ needs after free agency day 1.
Expectedly, edge rusher and team captain Za’Darius Smith was released Monday afternoon, shedding $15.
