Either the Packers knew they had a problem at safety this time last year or they badly misevaluated their own players. No other explanation fits with an offseason in which no significant upgrade was made to a position that has been an Achilles heel basically since Nick Collins’ career ended in 2011. Brian Gutekunst said they were going to roll with their young players, even with veteran players available for a song on the open market.
With roughly a dozen current or recent starting safeties set to hit the open market this spring, will the Packers change their approach to the position?
