The Green Bay Packers are playing musical chairs with their inside linebackers and just a few weeks before free agency, then thee draft, they’re waiting for the music to stop. Replacing nearly 99% of defensive snaps with Blake Martinez likely out the door will be no easy feat for Brian Gutekunst, particularly with a top-heavy linebacker draft class and exploding pricetags on the linebacker market.
According to a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel report, the Packers would prefer to spend closer to $8 million annually on Martinez, who is asking for at least $10 million.
