The Green Bay Packers hit the free-agency jackpot last June when general manager Brian Gutekunst signed linebacker De’Vondre Campbell to a one-year deal. Incredibly, Campbell produced an All-Pro season as the playmaker in the middle of the Packers defense in 2021.
Is there a veteran addition comparable to Campbell from this offseason? Probably not. A player like Campbell is a rare find. But the Packers should still get plenty of impact from a handful of new veterans in 2022.
Here’s a ranking of the veteran additions by potential impact this season:

Nixon might have been the most unheralded of the Packers’ veteran additions, but he’s in a position to play an important role – both on defense and special teams – during the 2022 season.
