An incredibly deep free agent safety class and a potentially depressed market for the position group could allow the Green Bay Packers to bring in not only one, but perhaps two impact additions.
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, many general managers are approaching free agency at the safety position as they have in previous years, with lower deals than what is anticipated by many, creating a “depressed market” for that position group. Russini adds that there will be a lot of one-year deals.
Those at the top of the market will still earn big pay-days, although perhaps not to the extent of what is being projected, but it’s those who don’t fit into that category, but could still make an impact somewhere, that may feel the effects of this down market the most.
