Green Bay Packers 2023 unrestricted free agents

Adrian Amos, S
Adrian Amos has played every game since signing with the Packers in 2019. A talented veteran safety who can help any defense in the league.

Allen Lazard, WR
A reliable receiver and an excellent blocker, Allen Lazard can make any offense better. But will he remain in Green Bay?

Mason Crosby, K
Mason Crosby is Green Bay’s all-time leading points scorer and has played every game since being drafted in 2007. An incredible run.

Keisean Nixon, CB
Keisean Nixon was a first-team All-Pro after leading the NFL in kick return yards. The Packers need to re-sign Nixon, who is a great returner and also contributes on defense.

Marcedes Lewis, TE
Marcedes Lewis has been one of the best blocking tight ends in the NFL in recent years, but he turns 39 this offseason.

Robert Tonyan, TE
Robert Tonyan is a solid pass-catcher and caught 11 touchdowns in 2020. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Packers brought him back on a one-year deal.

Randall Cobb, WR
One of Aaron Rodgers’ greatest-ever wide receivers. It won’t be a surprise if Randall Cobb’s future is determined by where Rodgers is playing.

Jarran Reed, DL
Jarran Reed had a solid first season in Green Bay but perhaps didn’t make the impact many had hoped, finishing with 2.5 sacks.

Dean Lowry, DL
Dean Lowry had a career year in 2021 but struggled this past season. It feels like a good time for the Packers to move on.

Dallin Leavitt, S
Dallin Leavitt was a valuable special teams contributor for Green Bay in 2022.

Rudy Ford, S
Rudy Ford also contributed on special teams for the Packers and stepped in as a backup safety, making three interceptions and forcing a fumble.

Eric Wilson, LB
Most of Eric Wilson’s snaps came on special teams, where he played well.

Corey Ballentine, CB
Another special teams contributor, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Corey Ballentine is back next season.

Justin Hollins, EDGE
Justin Hollins made 2.5 sacks in six games, showing he can provide valuable pass-rush depth.

Who should we resign? At what price point (High, Medium or Minimum)? And who should we let leave?

Joke aside, this is good topic to discuss on who to RE-SIGN though. 😋

Where some other player, like I might say resign Amos to a one year prove it deal, to make sure he's still got it after a very bad year (for his normal standards) but if someone offers him big money, let him go.

I like Reed. Wyatt should draw some attention, allowing Reed to make some plays.

Rudy Ford. Justin Hollins.

I've loved Amos. Solid vet, always in the right place at the right time. Not sure tho. Is he falling off or is this a Joe Barry effect? Ted always moved a guy a year early, rather than a year late.

Mason Crosby, might have some life left in that leg. Wasn't there an injury or something? Bring him back if he's ok, but don't overpay. He knows how to kick in the Tundra, but again, a year to early is better than too late.

Keisean Nixon might get paid. Make him a deal.

Marcedes Lewis provides veteran leadership, helps out these Ts. Can't run anymore, but can still catch.

Robert Tonyan, if we draft a TE, it's gonna take a year (probably two) to get him up to speed.

Dallin Leavitt, good depth guy.

I think the guys like Ford and other guys who were brought on board for special teams. I think they'll be back. I am guessing Mason Crosby is going to re-sign too. Some of the others listed are probably going to be filled with amazingly athletic 7th rounders 🤣🤣

I would like to see Crosby back. He seemed to bounce back last year and I think another year with a competent special teams coach will be a good situation for him. He probably won't demand a huge salary so I would rather not risk trying to find a new kicker. Also it will be amusing/amazing if Crosby ends up being here before and after Rodgers' time as a starter. Who would have guessed that?

It would be good to see Lazard back too, if the salary isn't too much for a #3 sort of guy. If they let him go they won't really have any established veterans at WR (assuming they do not bring Cobb back either). I doubt this happens though, someone will probably overpay.

I would like to see Amos return too. He's had two years of significant decline here if we go by PFF's ratings. But the defense as a whole had a down year. If the unit plays better next year, I think we might see him rebound. Again, at the right price - mid-level vet contract, not sure if this is feasible though.

I think Lazard is long gone and joining whatever teams pays him the best and has an elite QB.
