Packers should have interest in free agent Bruce Irvin
Defensively in 2018 the Green Bay Packers have been better overall, but their edge rushers have still been inconsistent and unreliable. With the Oakland Raiders’ release of edge rusher Bruce Irvin, it makes sense for Green Bay to sign him.
The Packers are in the top half of the league when it comes to sacking the opposing quarterback, but a majority of those have come from the defensive line or other personnel when they bring the blitz.
But the Packers edge rushers that consists of Clay Matthews, Nick Perry and Reggie Gilbert have been quiet this year.
The defense is far improved from 2017, but this is still an aspect that needs to improve and potentially, Bruce Irvin could be the answer.
