Green Bay Packers: Why Trent Cole could be the missing link

The Green Bay Packers have no shortage of talent at outside linebacker, but what they do lack is experience once you get past the starting edge duo of Clay Matthews and Nick Perry.

The front office uncharacteristically opened up the coffers in an effort to supplement the roster with veteran free agents at the tight end and guard positions, but Ted Thompson and company have chosen to stay the course with their young, but unproven edge defenders on defense.

All this means is that Green Bay could be counting on the likes of Kyler Fackrell and Jayrone Elliott in the starting lineup if one of their injury-prone starters were to go down for any amount of time.
