The linebacker position will have to be addressed this offseason by the Green Bay Packers. If Brian Gutekunst chooses to do so through free agency, there will be options with 15 linebackers making PFF’s top 150 free agents list.
At a minimum, depth will need to be added at linebacker this offseason. Currently on the Packers roster are Quay Walker, Isaiah McDuffie, De’Vondre Campbell, and Christian Young.
The Packers are also making a switch to a 4-3 defense under new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Although it is true that the majority of the Packers’ defensive snaps will still come in nickel with two linebackers on the field, the change does, to a degree, impact how Gutekunst constructs this position group.
