Who ya want back?

---

As always, it depends on price, but in general (most of these guys would be in the cheap end of the pay scale)

I want back
K Brandon McManus,
LB Eric Wilson, (cheap deal)
LB Isaiah McDuffie, (cheap deal)
CB Corey Ballentine, (cheap deal)
CB Robert Rochell, (Cheap deal)
TE Tyler Davis (Cheap deal, or one based on his snap counts to protect from injuries)

Save money to re-sign key members of the 2022 Draft Class next year:
Such as
RT Tom
LT Walker
WR Watson
WR Doubs
DT Wyatt
DE Enagbare
ILB Walker
RG Rhyan

Extra Thoughts:

The Packers seem to really trust Myers and there don't seem to be great options in UFA nor the draft, so I could see the Packers re-signing Myers for more than fans think he's worth.

Nothing against DT Slaton, I just don't believe Slaton is the type of DT skill that they're looking for in this scheme, as they seem to be looking for more pass rushers than run stoppers.

I've given CB Stokes a lot of crap for just lack of ability in tackling, to his credit, he came back and proved me wrong there, and his tackling looked way better than I thought he could. Though he still doesn't have much interest in run defense and struggled to cover. I wouldn't mind them bringing him back, but as a body, they need to attempt to upgrade.

Seems like the Packers (at least publicly) are very happy with C Josh Myers, and my guess we shouldn't be surprised if they re-sign him to a deal that shocks fans and sends them into an outrage.

---

The timing seems odd; if they're that high on him and want to keep him around, why not an extension last off season or during the year? Why allow him to potentially hit the market and drive up his price? If other teams have lukewarm interest and don't offer much, is it a good idea to bring him back?

(This is all assuming Gute actually wants Meyers back and not just blowing smoke up Meyers ass on his way out)
