The Packers also have shown interest but, of course, have a lot of restructures and roster cuts to work through to accommodate a Miller deal. This could all be in addition to a blockbuster contract for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and a likely franchise tag for wide receiver Davante Adams.

In addition to Rodgers and Adams, the Packers are also in flux, with Za’Darius Smith expected to be released, per sources. Additionally, the NFC North franchise is working on a contract extension for Preston Smith, according to sources.

Backs are tough injuries, and the Packers IIRC have a history of getting rid of guys with bad backs. So I think Z Smith is gone.

Besides, you can only have so much in salary to allocate to a position. I think you are more likely to see Mercilus return at a very cap friendly contract.

Go Packers!!!!

Unless it's mainly the back injury, it's hard for me to see us letting a starting OLB go for cap reasons just to sign another expensive OLB in FA.

Maybe if we got rid of both Smiths.
