GREEN BAY, Wis. – With four games left after the Green Bay Packers return from their bye, general manager Brian Gutekunst was not going to disturb the season when he stepped to the podium Monday afternoon.
More than once, the GM referred to “offseason decisions” awaiting him. Wherever this season ends, the Packers will arrive at a formative spring. At quarterback. At left tackle. At defensive coordinator.
Gutekunst cautiously visited each topic in a news conference required by the NFL for all general managers. He knows there is still time to gather information before deciding which steps need to be taken for the Packers to resurrect from this failed year, a fall that began with Super Bowl aspirations and likely will end short of the playoffs.
