Rasheed Walker remains unsigned as the top left tackle candidate, with Schefter saying the market is thin and he’s likely to accept a one-year deal to re-enter free agency next year; this path could still affect Green Bay’s compensatory-pick outlook in 2027, depending on the deal’s value, as the Packers have three compensatory picks projected and have already signed St-Juste, Hargrave, and Skyy Moore.
