Packers get mixed reviews for top free agent signings

The Green Bay Packers received mixed reviews in ESPN’s free agency breakdown from the site’s NFL experts.

General manager Brian Gutekunst made two of the biggest splashes, signing safety Xavier McKinney on a four-year, $68 million deal and running back Josh Jacobs on a four-year, $48 million deal.

One ESPN expert loved the Packers’ signing of McKinney. Another didn’t understand why the Packers swapped out Aaron Jones in favor of Jacobs.

From former NFL safety Matt Bowen picked McKinney as the best overall signing of the free agency period.
