Green Bay Packers Have Had an Underappreciated Offseason

The Green Bay Packers have never been known for making huge waves in free agency, and this offseason has been no different. Essentially all of their significant moves have been to re-sign their own players, rather than targeting new ones.

While some fans may view this as a negative, when you take a step back, the Packers' offseason hasn't been so bad. Coming off of an NFC Championship game appearance last season, the Packers are returning almost all of their core players on both sides of the ball, only missing two on offense and one on defense.

Packers will likely return 10 of the 12 players (Linsley, Wagner) that played at least 450 offensive snaps and 12 of the 13 players (Kirksey) that played at least 400 defensive snaps last season.

The NFL Draft still has yet to happen, so the Packers will surely build out their team even more there, and offensive line will surely be a top priority.

So while there aren't any new flashy names heading to Green Bay so far, the Packers' offseason has probably been better than most perceive.
