Green Bay Packers: Three free agents that could help them compete in 2024.

The Green Bay Packers outperformed expectations in numerous ways in 2023. The team started 3-6, then went on a 6-2 run to end 9-8. The club became the youngest to make the playoffs, even upsetting the NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys.

This offseason, it appears that the Packers are struggling to spend money. According to Over The Cap, the Packers are expected to have approximately -$2.8 million in cap space. However, with some creative restructures and the release of veterans such as De’Vondre Campbell, David Bakhtiari, and Royce Newman, the team may free up up to $50 million in salary space.

The Packers are going to need a safety. Jonathan Owens, Rudy Ford, and Darnell Savage are all headed for free agency and none of the trio perfomed all that well in the first place.

Gardner-Johnson had an injury-plagued 2023 season with the Detroit Lions. The defensive back played in just 3 games but still racked up 17 tackles and an interception. Gardner-Johnson now heads back to free agency after inking a 1-year, $8M deal last offseason.

The DB may not land as big of a deal as he hopes this offseason due to his injury-marred 2023 campaign. However, Gardner-Johnson is a versatile defender who can play in the slot or as a box safety. Gardner-Johnson has at least 1 interception in each of his 5 NFL seasons and had a career-best 6 in 2022 with the Philadelphia Eagles.
