Welcome to the Titletown Report.
The Los Angeles Rams released Clay Matthews on Thursday. As a result, many Packers fans have debated the possibility of him returning to Green Bay.
It’s certainly an interesting thought. Matthews showed he can still generate pressure on quarterbacks with the Rams last season, finishing with eight sacks in 13 games.
If he was re-signed, he wouldn’t need to be a starter in Mike Pettine’s defense. With the Smith Bros. starting and Rashan Gary potentially seeing an increased role, Matthews would provide depth, which is important at a premium position. Whether Matthews would be willing to return in that role is another question.
