But every investment has an opportunity cost.
By definition, it’s impossible to make fixing every problem a “priority,” and in aggressively trying to fix Green Bay’s ailing secondary, Gutekunst left the outside linebacker position virtually unchanged this offseason.
It appears that the Packers were in on the Khalil Mach sweepstakes—just as Gutekunst promised when he got the job—but, alas, the offer wasn’t quite good enough. As it stands now, the team has four outside linebackers on the roster, and one of them is Kyler Fackrell. Clay Matthews and Nick Perry are productive when healthy, which is frustratingly rare.
