Nearly a week after the NFL’s legal tampering window began, the best way to describe the current free agency landscape is “slim pickings.” There’s not much talent available, particularly in the three biggest needs that the Green Bay Packers have moving forward: receiver, defensive end and defensive tackle.
Let’s run through the top free agents available at those positions, according to Pro Football Focus’ most recent “best available” rankings:
Wide Receivers
- #1 Amari Cooper
- #2 Stefon Diggs
- #11 Keenan Allen
- #27 Diontae Johnson
- #35 Tyler Lockett
- #38 Elijah Moore
- #41 Mecole Hardman
- #44 Brandin Cooks
- #48 Tyler Boyd
- #50 Nelson Agholor
- #70 Robert Woods
- #72 DeAndre Carter
Aside from Stefon Diggs, none of these receivers do a good job of separating from coverage, per ESPN’s “open” metric which measures this ability with player tracking data.
