The Green Bay Packers wasted no time in the beginning of the legal tampering period by making several significant moves on Day 1. Notably, David Bakhtiari and Aaron Jones were released, while Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney reached agreements. In addition, Darnell Savage and Jon Runyan Jr. decided to sign with other teams, and Tyler Davis re-signed with the Packers.
The team has already been active in free agency, with deals for Jacobs and McKinney exceeding $100 million in total value. However, the question remains whether the Packers are finished spending or adding to their roster. Here are four potential targets to keep an eye on for Day 2 of free agency:
Jordan Fuller, a former player for Old Tappan and the Rams, could be a target for the Packers at safety. With his connection to the Packers’ new defensive coordinator and his strong run defense skills, Fuller could be a valuable addition to the secondary.
Another potential target is Jerome Baker, who previously played for Packers linebackers coach Anthony Campanile. Baker’s versatility in coverage and pass-rushing abilities could make him a good fit for the Packers’ defense, especially after the release of De’Vondre Campbell.
In-house free agent K.J. Nixon is also on the radar for the Packers. His growth as a slot cornerback and his prowess as a kickoff returner could make him a valuable asset for the team, even if there are opportunities to upgrade at the nickel spot.
Lastly, Kamren Curl, a safety for the Washington Commanders, could be a strong addition to the Packers’ defense. With his reliability and well-rounded skill set, Curl could complement Xavier McKinney well and form a dynamic safety duo for Green Bay.
As the Packers continue to navigate free agency, these potential targets could help bolster their roster and address key areas of need. Stay tuned for more updates on Day 2 of free agency.
