The salary-cap-strapped Green Bay Packers have been relatively quiet in free agency, which isn’t a shock considering their financial circumstances. No one should be surprised with their approach this year, which has focused on signing bargain bin players on cheap contracts to backfill the backend of their roster.
In total, the Packers have signed eight players to new contracts, with six of those eight players being internal re-signings. Among those six re-signings, five of them could be considered primarily special teams contributors: CB Corey Ballentine, TE Tyler Davis, S Rudy Ford, CB Keisean Nixon and LB Eric Wilson.
