The Green Bay Packers have shown very few weaknesses throughout the course of the 2024 NFL season so far. However, there has been one concern that has popped up from time to time on the defensive side of the ball.
With Jaire Alexander struggling due to injury issues, the cornerback position has not been ideal. Looking ahead to the NFL offseason, it would not be shocking to see the Packers try to shore up the position.
Health has become a major concern for Alexander over the last couple of years. He has been unable to stay on the field consistently. Eric Stokes has been solid but not great this season, while Carrington Valentine and Keisean Nixon are solid but not No. 1 options.
All of that being said, who could Green Bay consider pursuing to bring in that level of talent at cornerback in the offseason?
Green Bay Packers Urged to Poach DB from Los Angeles Chargers in 2025 Free Agency
Bleacher Report has made an intriguing suggestion for the Green Bay Packers. They think that the NFC North contender should try to poach a cornerback from the Los Angeles Chargers.
Kristian Fulton was the name that they tabbed as a potential 2025 free agency target for Green Bay.
“With $63.7 million in projected 2025 cap space, Green Bay will likely take a long look at cornerbacks on the 2025 market. Kristian Fulton played extremely well in his first season with the Los Angeles Chargers before being sidelined with a hamstring injury. In eight games this season, he has allowed an opposing passer rating of only 73.4 in coverage. He’ll still be only 26 years old at the start of next season.”
This would be a perfect move for the Green Bay Packers if they were able to get it done.
So far this season with the Chargers, Fulton has played in eight games. He has racked up 18 tackles, an interception, and six defended passes. He’s young enough to be a long-term option and his play style would fit nicely in Jeff Hafley’s defensive schemes.
More than likely, Fulton would also not be a bank breaking kind of free agency target.
Fulton is likely going to have a fairly large market during free agency. There are quite a few teams around the NFL that could use help in the secondary.
However, if he is available, is interested in signing with the Green Bay Packers, and would come at a reasonable cost, the front office should absolutely pursue him.
