The Green Bay Packers have taken multiple steps keep this team competitive during the 2024 off-season. Some of those moves were tougher decisions than others. While moving on from David Bakhtiari and Aaron Jones tugged at the heart strings of many Packers fans, bringing in Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney certainly eased the pain.
However, there seems to be another free agent the Packers could target that would improve the offense.
The Green Bay Packers Suddenly Linked to Big Name Free Agent
According to Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report:
Now that the Packers have seen what Jordan Love can do at the peak of his powers, keeping him protected is going to be vital to their success.
The Packers seem to understand that. They used a first-round pick on Jordan Morgan after years of picking a defensive players in the opening round. The former Arizona left tackle might be able to play on the perimeter but his length also might require a move to the inside.
Rasheed Walker might be able to hold off the rookie for the left tackle job, but if he can’t then the Packers might be in need of a starting guard.
Green Bay has a young group of linemen who could step in to fill voids left behind by David Bakhtiari, Yosh Nijman and Jon Runyan. However, adding a veteran to the mix could be beneficial.
Greg Van Roten is one of the few veterans left on the market who could make a difference. He is 34 years old, but he just played over 1,000 snaps for the Raiders last season and earned a PFF grade of 75.3 while committing no penalties.
He played on a one-year, $1.6 million contract last season. He probably played well enough to command more money, but the fact that he’s still on the market would say that he might not get much more.
Adding as much interior offensive line help as possible is key to finding the best man for the job and keeping Jordan Love upright.
