The Green Bay Packers will use up around $11.3 million in cap space in 2020 on newly acquired veterans Christian Kirksey, Rick Wagner and Devin Funchess.
A year after making a giant splash in free agency, GM Brian Gutekunst bypassed the chance to add another big prize and instead used his precious cap space on short-term patches at inside linebacker, right tackle and receiver.
Time will tell if Gutekunst made the right decisions. Individually, the players added can be viewed as cheap and mostly low-risk additions at need positions. Collectively, the three veterans will take up a decent chunk of the cap in 2020 – and all three are coming off worrisome 2019 seasons.
