GREEN BAY, Wis. – In June 2021, the Green Bay Packers bolstered a weakness at linebacker by signing De’Vondre Campbell. Could they eventually decide to do the same at cornerback, where some quality free agents remain available?
At Packers OTAs on Tuesday, the starting cornerbacks were Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes. Stokes, who missed most of last season due to injuries, and Carrington Valentine, who started 12 games as a rookie because of those injuries, figure to battle throughout the offseason and training camp for the right to start opposite Alexander.
But what if general manager Brian Gutekunst comes to the conclusion that the cornerback room needs a Campbell-style addition, either to challenge for a starting role or provide depth?
