As much as the Packers’ brain trust, most fans and Aaron Rodgers himself held high hopes for recent free-agent acquisition Devin Funchess, the veteran wideout’s decision to opt out of the 2020 season shouldn’t have much of an impact on his team’s fortunes.
That assessment in no way is meant to denigrate the former second-round pick’s ability to contribute as a big possession target — when he’s not dropping easy balls. However, the Packers currently roster a multitude of other wide receivers who share many of Funchess’ characteristics.
Presumptive starter Allen Lazard, along with Equanimeous St. Brown, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jake Kumerow are all long-striders measuring somewhere in the 6’4”-6’5” range.
