These aren’t your daddy’s Green Bay Packers is a pretty cliché thing to say.
But it’s also 100 percent true. This is Brian Gutekunst’s third run at free agency and he has taken plenty of swings — which is exactly what many wanted him to do. Is it a gamble to sign free agents? Sure, but with one of the game’s best at quarterback, it’s a gamble that’s worth taking.
In his first year, the Packers brought in Davon House, Tramon Williams, Muhammed Wilkerson and Jimmy Graham. Last year he upped the ante by signing offensive lineman Billy Turner, linebacker Za’Darius Smith, safety Adrian Amos and linebacker Preston Smith.
