The\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0are entering an important phase of the calendar, with\u00a0free agency\u00a0and the draft approaching. General manager Brian Gutekunst said he wants to ramp up the urgency to build a championship roster, so let’s discuss his avenues to do so in our latest edition of the\u00a0Packers mailbag.<\/p>\n
It has to be a\u00a0decision regarding Jaire Alexander. Theoretically, they don’t need to pull the trigger before Week 1, since there’s no roster bonus, but the final call regarding Jaire will define everything else the Packers have to do about their secondary.<\/p>\n
It’s highly likely that Jaire will end up elsewhere, but it would be important for the Packers if they were able to get some type of draft compensation. Another positive aspect of the trade is that Green Bay could direct him to another division\u2014if he gets released, he will be on another NFC North team in five minutes.<\/p>\n
But on a more serious not, the tendency is that the Packers will end up releasing Alexander, because it’s hard to find suitors for a player who is not cheap and has handled so many injuries. At least, this year the team has\u00a0financial flexibility to start the new league year\u00a0in March with Alexander on the roster, which gives them a real shot at trading him.<\/p>\n
In 2022, the Packers were forced to release Za’Darius Smith, even if he had some trade value, because they needed the cap space to be cap compliant.<\/p>\n
I would go with Davante Adams\u00a0and Drew Dalman. Adams is getting older, which tends to be dangerous for wide receivers, but he still played at a high level for the\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0this past season and would be able to offer a skillset that the current receiving group doesn’t have.<\/p>\n
Milton Williams would be an intriguing option, but he tends to be truly expensive after his playoff performance and, more importantly, offers the same positives and negatives than Devonte Wyatt and Karl Brooks. He might be better, but I don’t see why you would spend so much money on a defensive lineman who isn’t exactly a complete player.<\/p>\n
On the othe hand, Drew Dalman would be a huge upgrade over Josh Myers, especially in run blocking. He already knows the basics of the system, because he played under Arthur Smith in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0Spotrac, Dalman is expected to sign a three-year, $20.2 million contract. That’s way cheaper than what the\u00a0New York Giants\u00a0paid Jon Runyan last offseason.\u00a0The price might be above the projection because that’s how the offensive line market works in free agency, but he would be a solid addition<\/p>\n
