Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers had the opportunity to tender cornerback Robert Rochell with a “first right of refusal” tag that would have made the restricted free agent $2.985 million and never let the defensive back hit unrestricted free agency. Instead, the Packers elected to not place that tender on Rochell and have now re-signed the cornerback, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.
Assuming that the Packers are acting rationally here, Rochell’s 2024 salary should come under that $2.985 million mark for the season, based on their prior actions. The addition of Rochell adds even more depth to a cornerback unit that was looking bare going into the offseason.
