The Green Bay Packers missed out on signing Austin Hooper, who was the best available tight end in free agency, but they are bringing back their own free agent, Marcedes Lewis.
According to ESPN’s Field Yates, Lewis signed a one-year deal with the Packers with a base value of $2.25 million. This is a bargain deal for Green Bay that comes with no risk at all, but plenty of upside.
Lewis isn’t a game-changing receiver but he can contribute as a pass-catcher. But where he’s most valuable to Matt LaFleur’s offense is as a blocker.
