The debate rages: how can the Packers refrain from a decline in its player personnel compared with last season – or perhaps even have personnel improvement in 2021?
Given the team’s salary cap woes, it might seem impossible. But what if a number of Green Bay players on last season’s roster play considerably better this season? I propose, as Exhibit A, Preston Smith, who at age 28 is about to embark on his seventh pro season.
Almost everyone, myself included, opined that Preston Smith would be released prior to the official start of the 2021 season. We were wrong, because we were ignorant of the terms of Smith’s contract.
