3 franchise-altering decisions Packers have to make this season
The Green Bay Packers’ long-term future will be shaped by the choices they make in the upcoming months.
The Packers are in the process of rebuilding. They have the youngest roster in the NFL and are slowly working toward a healthier salary cap.
It will take time to develop a team that the Packers can contend with in the NFC, and they need to make the right choices in order to get there.
This could be a completely different team a year from now. Two years from now. How many players and coaches will still be in Green Bay in 2025?
The Packers have tough decisions to make in the near future, and each will directly impact the direction of this team moving forward. Let’s look at three crucial decisions they must make.
3. Which players are part of the Packers’ future?
Green Bay has the league’s youngest roster, meaning several players with little NFL experience are in starting positions.
The Packers are using this season as an evaluation to see which players they can base their future plans around.
Which athletes are surefire picks for the 2025 squad?
Rashan Gary just signed a massive contract extension. Jaire Alexander and Elgton Jenkins will still be under contract.
We can assume a number of rookies and second-year players will still be on the roster, including Lukas Van Ness, Luke Musgrave, Jayden Reed, and Christian Watson.
But what about AJ Dillon, Darnell Savage, Josh Myers, Yosh Nijman, or even Jordan Love? Green Bay has to determine which players it can build around over the next three or more years.
The upcoming offseason list of free agents will be the first step in that.
