The Green Bay Packers are entering another pivotal off-season. Going into year three with Jordan Love at quarterback, you want to start seeing championship caliber football being played.
Similar to what Philadelphia did from 2023 to 2024, Green Bay has the opportunity to take their roster from playoff caliber to Super Bowl caliber this off-season. However, it may be difficult for them to do that.
Packers Leak Troubling Off-Season News; Josh Jacobs Goes Viral Over It
Having quarterback Jordan Love to leverage in the passing game will only make Jacobs’ job easier. There is only one major problem with what Jacobs wants Green Bay’s front office to do:
The Packers simply don’t like the prices that the best wide receivers in this year’s free agent class are likely to require. ESPN’s Dan Graziano (subscription required) is reporting that Green Bay’s front office will not go into the offseason “thinking about star power.”
Packers reportedly not ‘thinking about star power’ in WR market
The Bengals’ reported plan to place the franchise tag on Tee Higgins will only drive up the price of his peers on the open market.
Instead, look for general manager Brian Gutekunst and his staff to focus on potential bargains to improve the quality of their receiver room. They could look for a veteran who wants to latch on with a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Someone like DeAndre Hopkins or Keenan Allen could give the team a boost on the field and in the locker room.
Getting a star wide receiver this year will likely be accomplished by finding a rookie that can make an immediate impact in the draft. With the No. 23 overall pick in Round 1, Green Bay won’t have a chance to land a definite star in what is considered a mediocre wide receiver class. For the Packers’ aggressive front office, selecting a toolsy prospect like Jayden Higgins or Tre Harris in Round 2 might be a prudent investment.
