    The Green Bay Packers know that they’re only a few pieces away from becoming a championship caliber team.  Regardless of how the season ended, winning 11 games with your second-year starting quarterback is impressive.

    Now Green Bay might go out and make a splash signing.

    A position group that was once among the best in football looks pretty bleak heading into the offseason for the Green Bay Packers. That could change with one massive move:

    Potential free agent moves the Packers could make at wide receiver

    2. Tee Higgins

    Another name already floated as an option for the Packers is Tee Higgins. Higgins would certainly fill the Christian Watson-esque role while the young receiver recovers, standing at 6-foot-4 with 4.59 speed in his 40-yard dash.

    When healthy, Higgins is a stud. He is coming off a 911-yard and 10-touchdown season despite missing five games. Of course, health is a big factor, as he has only played in one full season, which was his rookie year in 2020. Still, the upside is obviously there and would fall in line with Green Bay’s willingness to spend on impact players.

    After playing last season on the Cincinnati Bengals ‘ franchise tag, Higgins may be the most expensive option on this list. By the time the season starts, Higgins will only be 26 years old and factors to sign a hefty contract unless the Bengals franchise-tag him again.

    Nevertheless, the Packers are currently estimated to have $51 million in cap room for next season and could make a deal happen.
