Better or Worse? Examining Every Packers Position Week Into Free Agency

On Sunday, an epic blizzard began blowing through Green Bay. Similarly, a storm has blown through the Green Bay Packers’ roster.

Last season, 23 players played at least 468 snaps from scrimmage. During an eventful first week of free agency, seven of them are no longer with the team.

Where are the Packers better? Worse? Here’s a position-by-position look at the roster, with the important acknowledgement that there are role players available in free agency and the draft is on the horizon.

Quarterback

The Packers lost Malik Willis in free agency. After two excellent seasons of backup duty, there was absolutely no chance the Packers would re-sign him. Willis got his opportunity to start (and earn a $67.5 million contract), and the Packers at this point will be rolling with either Desmond Ridder or Kyle McCord, two late-season additions. At least Ridder has significant experience with 18 starts.

The verdict: Obviously worse, and no addition is going to change that reality.
