He also cites Seattle’s savvy Dante Fowler Jr. signing as an example of veteran depth helping a contending team, and adds notes on Anthony Richardson’s Colts progression, Alvin Kamara’s desire to stay with the Saints, Patrick Mahomes’ rehab progress, and Aaron Rodgers’ situational uncertainty.

The Packers have the least experienced quarterback group in football and a depth chart full of first- and second-year players at receiver and tight end. The defensive line is also unproven, and safety is considered the worst position on the roster. The Packers may also want competition for rookie kicker Anders Carlson.
