Around this time last year, the Green Bay Packers were interested in bringing back Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The former fifth-round pick developed into a legitimate deep threat, but the financial aspect made it difficult to work out a long-term deal. Eventually, Valdes-Scantling signed a three-year, $30 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fast forward a year later and Green Bay finds itself in a similar predicament.
Allen Lazard is set to become a free agent this offseason. Like Valdes-Scantling, Lazard has developed into a dependable wide receiver with a specialized skill set.
