The Green Bay Packers, in need of cornerback help, will host free agent Asante Samuel Jr. for a workout on Thursday.
They face competition from a handful of teams, including the Carolina Panthers, who had the first opportunity to meet with Samuel on Wednesday. But among the interested teams, it's the Packers who have the most to offer.
Not only do the Packers boast an NFC North-best 5-2-1 record with legitimate Super Bowl potential, but they also have a clear opening in the starting lineup. Samuel could instantly become the Packers' best boundary corner.
Chargers writer Jason Reed, who covers the team for Bolt Beat, believes the Packers are the clear favorites to land the free-agent cornerback.
