The Green Bay Packers did it once again. Based on early returns, it looks like Green Bay got their third franchise quarterback in a row. Jordan Love has not only performed well, but he’s led Green Bay to the playoffs in both his first two seasons starting under center.
Now, there could be a massive reinforcement on the way.
“Definitely An Upgrade” Packers Suddenly Linked To 38-Game Starter For Jordan Love
At the end of the season, Josh Myers’ rookie contract will expire, and that could change the Packers’ direction at center:
Green Bay could definitely find an upgrade for Myers, who is the 39th-ranked center among centers who have played at least 200 offensive snaps this season. That pales in comparison to Dalman, who is fifth overall.
The Packers would be getting a much more consistent player in Dalman, which has been an issue with Myers since he entered the league as a second-round pick in 2021. Dalman was in the same draft class and has vastly outperformed Myers despite being drafted two rounds later.
According to Pro Football Focus:
“There aren’t many long-term answers in free agency at center, which will make Dalman the primary beneficiary if he reaches the open market.
Any team that deploys an outside-zone rushing scheme will be all over the former fourth-round pick. Dalman has room to grow as a pass protector but is one of the best run-blocking centers in the NFL and will advance the continued growth of the interior offensive line market after Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey finally reset the center market.”
Here is a look at Dalman’s career stats:
