These are five upcoming free agents that the Green Bay Packers should consider to fill their need at safety for the 2019 season. During the course of the 2018 calendar year, the Green Bay Packers added a lot of talent to their secondary at the cornerback position. However due to injuries, trading Ha Ha Clinton-Dix,

HaHa Clinton-Dix is a free agent . . . maybe the Packers could bring him in for a test drive?

Also I could be wrong on this, but Earl Thomas to Dallas almost seems like a lock (Thomas loves Texas, they got the former Seahawks coach leading them, and Jerry Jones loves hype and publicity, especially since it's gonna be a local boy), and I believe Mathieu openly said he took less money to in a strong defense and play closer to "home" (New Orleans), so I doubting he's a option for the Packers.

I think there will be a bidding war for Collins, at least if NFL teams think the same as fans... and some have suggested he might even get franchised tagged (I haven't looked up tag numbers to see if that's likely).

I wanted to draft Amos out of college, I said he would be the future Hyde.

I wonder what out former one year Titans coach thinks of the one year Titans Safety in Vaccaro... especially after facing him him for two years, when coach was with the Falcons and player was with the Saints.

IMO, the real question is, what Defensive Pro Bowlers will also be free agents this offseason?
I say examine all of your options before committing to any course of action. A Safety may be out there that would fit into GB's DC's lineup. Strengthening the Safety position with a great FA could only ease the way to drafting an offensive lineman or edge rusher with GB's #12 draft pick.

I know that all 5 players will not be available for GB to bid on.

Collins, Mathieu and Amos would be the best options. If they aren't available then GB needs to move on.

I thought Hyde and Amos has similar physical skill sets and would be similar type players.
Out of curiosity, I just looked up their PFF grade and they're ranked #7 and #8 Safety this last year.

    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
