Free agency isn’t over – in fact, it’s only just beginning – but the Green Bay Packers have already executed the vast majority of the moves they’ll make during the start of the new league year. After clearing roughly $75 million off the cap, the Packers were able to get under the cap and still keep most of the roster intact.
Za’Darius Smith and Billy Turner are gone, and a handful of free agents have departed, but the biggest pieces of the roster remain.
General manager Brian Gutekunst likes to say roster-building is a 365-day-a-year job, and there’s still plenty of work to be done before his 90-man roster is set.
