Still plenty of work for Packers to do at safety position

The Green Bay Packers made a big free agency splash, landing safety Xavier McKinney. While the addition of McKinney goes a long way in solving the Packers need at safety and lays a strong foundation at that position, the job for GM Brian Gutekunst is not done yet.

Along with McKinney, the only other safeties on the roster are Zayne Anderson, Benny Sapp, and Anthony Johnson. Anderson is a special teams contributor, as is Sapp, if on the roster. Hopefully, Johnson can continue to develop, but the Packers aren’t going to bank on that with their roster-building strategy.
