The Green Bay Packers need some help on the defensive side of the football. The outside linebacker and safety positions appear to be the team’s biggest needs on defense, and this year’s crop of free agents appears to be an excellent group to help fill those holes.
However, franchise and transition tags could throw a wrench into the Packers’ plans.
Tuesday, February 19th is the first day that NFL teams are allowed to begin applying the tags to their soon-to-be free agent players, and several names near the tops of most free agent lists are expected to receive a tag of some sort.
