Return of Lane Taylor strengthens Packers' competition at RG

The salaries in 2020 suggest a clear favorite, but the Green Bay Packers should have an open competition for the starting job at right guard this summer.

The return of Lane Taylor strengthens the depth at the position. A 49-game starter who handled left guard for the Packers between 2016 and 2018, Taylor restructured the final year of his contract and should now have an excellent shot at making the team in 2020.

Will Taylor be a quality veteran backup or a cheap veteran starter?

Taylor’s biggest hurdle to playing time is Billy Turner, a free-agent signing of GM Brian Gutekunst who started all 16 games for Matt LaFleur at right guard in 2019.
