Packers Rumors: Austin Hooper Among Green Bay's Top Free-Agent Targets

John Bazemore/Associated Press

The Green Bay Packers reportedly plan to pursue tight end Austin Hooper in free agency, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Demovsky noted that the Packers want to add a pass-catcher both via the draft and free agency after receiving little production in that area last season aside from No. 1 wideout Davante Adams.

Hooper spent his first four NFL seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, but general manager Thomas Dimitroff said this week that the team would allow him to test free agency despite the fact that they still want to re-sign him.
