Former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen remains a free agent. The Packers should fix that. Free agency is functionally over. For all intents and purposes, most teams have set their rosters and are now just waiting for the inevitable injuries and attrition of training camp and regular season to set in before they make any more roster changes.

But that’s not to say the Green Bay Packers  shouldn’t be open to making moves. Indeed, Brian Gutekunst has shown a consistent willingness to churn his roster at all points of the NFL calendar, and he shouldn’t rest on his laurels now. The Packers roster still has its weak points, and while the offensive side of the free agency scrap heap is more or less picked over, there are still some capable defenders who could bolster some weak parts of the Packers roster.

One such player is Everson Griffen. After recording eight sacks in 2019, Griffen opted out of the final three years of his contract with the Minnesota Vikings  in February. Though he’s drawn interest from the Seahawks  and the Vikings haven’t ruled out a reunion, he remains a free agent today, and would be a good option for the Packers, whose defensive line group is seriously lacking difference makers outside of Kenny Clark .
Heading into his age 33 season, Griffen certainly isn’t the player he once was. After a 13-sack Pro Bowl  season in 2017, Griffen was limited to 11 games in 2018 due to some troubling (at the very least) off-field incidents . For his part, he says he’s put those things behind him, but it’s still worth keeping in mind.

Also, no way Gute pulls this trigger, as Gute doesn't like guys blocking up and coming young guys with potential, and we got Z. Smith and Gary that could potentially play the exact same role whom are already signed.

And Seahawks seriously need pass rushers, they're probably going to be offering more money than others new teams.

If I'm going to out bid the Seahawks on an edge rusher, I'd probably be looking at Jadeveon Clowney first, though he'll cost more, but he can actually dominant the 49ers offense.

I agree with, if you are going after anyone, it should be Clowney.
