At the time, many took that to mean that the Packers were going to be big players in free agency for the second year in a row. However, aside from adding Aaron Banks, Nate Hobbs, Mecole Hardman, and Isaiah Simmons (none of whom were considered prime targets), Green Bay was quiet in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, Gutekunst\u2019s message was not for the front office, but for the players already on their roster. To put it plainly, many of the players that they have drafted and developed did not or have not elevated their games to the level Green Bay had hoped. This brought some changes to the roster, most notably on offense.<\/p>\n<h2>The Green Bay Packers Have Made Some Changes\/Additions on Offense<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_318869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-318869\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Former Green Bay Packers OL Signs with San Francisco 49ers 1\" src=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USATSI_25084134_168400517_lowres-scaled-e1746839225707.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1476px) 100vw, 1476px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USATSI_25084134_168400517_lowres-scaled-e1746839225707.jpg 1476w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USATSI_25084134_168400517_lowres-scaled-e1746839225707-519x600.jpg 519w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USATSI_25084134_168400517_lowres-scaled-e1746839225707-768x888.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USATSI_25084134_168400517_lowres-scaled-e1746839225707-1329x1536.jpg 1329w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USATSI_25084134_168400517_lowres-scaled-e1746839225707-150x173.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USATSI_25084134_168400517_lowres-scaled-e1746839225707-450x520.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USATSI_25084134_168400517_lowres-scaled-e1746839225707-1200x1387.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Former Green Bay Packers OL Signs With San Francisco 49ers - Gridiron Heroics\" width=\"1476\" height=\"1706\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Perhaps the most covered changes the Packers have made is at the wide receiver position. With Christian Watson expected to miss part of the 2025 NFL season as he recovers from a torn ACL, and due to the fact that the other wide receivers had drop issues in 2024, Green Bay used two of their first three picks in the draft on the position.<\/p>\n<p>But the changes that Green Bay has made\/is making on their offensive line could be just as notable, if not more so.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned previously, the Packers added Banks, a left guard, in free agency by giving him a $77 million contract. His addition, as well as the departure of Josh Myers, means that Elgton Jenkins will be moving to center, the position he played in college.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Green Bay used their second round pick on Anthony Belton, and a seventh round pick on John Williams, both of whom play on the line.<\/p>\n<p>All of these additions meant that someone who was on the team last year was going to be the odd man out.<\/p>\n<h2>Former Green Bay Packers Offensive Lineman Andre Dillard Has Signed with the San Francisco 49ers<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_325165\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-325165\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Former Green Bay Packers OL Signs with San Francisco 49ers 2\" src=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_23831603_168400517_lowres-e1746840224384.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_23831603_168400517_lowres-e1746840224384.jpg 916w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_23831603_168400517_lowres-e1746840224384-465x600.jpg 465w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_23831603_168400517_lowres-e1746840224384-768x991.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_23831603_168400517_lowres-e1746840224384-150x194.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_23831603_168400517_lowres-e1746840224384-450x581.jpg 450w\" alt=\"Former Green Bay Packers OL Signs With San Francisco 49ers - Gridiron Heroics\" width=\"916\" height=\"1182\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-325165\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That odd man out is former Philadelphia Eagles first round pick Andre Dillard, who signed with Green Bay on a one-year deal prior to the 2024 NFL season.
