The Packers defensive line could use some playmakers. Could Timmy Jernigan be a solution to their problem?

It’s no secret that the Green Bay Packers could use some help on the defensive line. Due to a tight cap, they weren’t too active in free agency this year. They were able to sign linebacker Christian Kirksey and receiver Devin Funchess, leaving almost nothing for a defensive lineman, let alone a difference-maker like Ndamukong Suh or Jadeveon Clowney.

The Packers couldn’t afford to get into a bidding war. They settled for signing a pair of defensive linemen who haven’t really caught on anywhere.
