As the green bay packers begin the offseason, it’s an appropriate time to look at the upcoming free agent class. According to packers analyst ken ingalls, the team is expected to earn $29 million more than the salary cap at the start of the regular season.
This economic situation calls for careful decisions in the future. Retaining any player would require clearing up cap space, potentially affecting the status of key players like running back aaron jones, left tackle david bakhtiari, outside linebacker preston smith, and inside linebacker de’vondre campbell, all of whom are under contract with the green bay packers in 2024.
AJ dillon and tight end josiah deguara are two of the green bay packers’ upcoming free agents. In addition, tight end tyler davis, tackle yosh nijman, guard jon runyan jr., inside linebackers eric wilson and kristian welch, cornerback corey ballentine, slot receiver and kick returner keisean nixon, and safeties darnell savage, jonathan owens, and rudy ford are on the list.
In determining which players are retained for the forthcoming season, effectively managing the salary cap will play a vital role. If the team does not secure them with new contracts by march, all of the players listed above are expected to enter the open market.
Darnell savage and jonathan owens are two of the full-time starters. Aj dillon, a running back, jon runyan jr., and keisean nixon, a cornerback/return specialist, are among the key contributors to the team. For retaining the team’s success and depth in the forthcoming season, it is vital to secure contracts for these key players.
