The Green Bay Packers’ offseason is starting sooner than the organization had hoped in 2023, thanks to the team missing the postseason by one game. Green Bay’s loss to the Detroit Lions in week 18 knocked them out of the playoffs, kicking off the roster evaluation portion of the year a bit early this month.
In 2023, the NFL’s league year is set to begin on Wednesday, March 15th. At that time, players whose contracts expire after the 2022 season will become free agents and, depending on the number of accrued seasons of experience they have, will fall into one of a few different free agent categories.
