Green Bay Packers Reportedly Could Be Interested in Signing Recently Released 3-Time Pro Bowler
Very few people expected the Green Bay Packers to be in contention for a NFL Playoffs spot this season. After all, they traded Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets in favor of their 2020 first round NFL Draft pick Jordan Love. They also allowed multiple veterans to depart via free agency and filled out their roster, especially on offense, with rookies and other young players.
While Green Bay has not had a winning record since Week Three, their 5-6 record has them just a half game out of the final NFC wild card spot. Should they beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, they will overtake the Seattle Seahawks for that spot.
In other words, despite all that has been said about them before and during the season, the Packers are in contention for a playoff spot. This is an important factor to keep in mind, not just because of how thrilling it is for the team, but also because it makes them theoretical players in late-season free agent signings.
