Packers: 10 things they must do in the 2020 offseason

9. Reshuffle the offensive line

Billy Turner was a weird signing by the front office. Turner has all kinds of versatility along the offensive line, but isn’t particularly good at any one position. He’s solid at best, with the Packers paying him $7 million a year for it. The signing helped the Packers stay ready in the event of an injury to one of their other starters on the line, but Turner needs to be better to justify the contract he was given.

Brandon Scherff is a free agent, but he could be out of Green Bay’s price range. The Packers could create the necessary flexibility by waiving Jimmy Graham and a couple others, but Turner’s up-and-down play is making the signing more and more questionable. As of now, the Packers are locked into an average offensive lineman on a long-term deal. The Packers may need to find a way out of his contract sooner rather than later.

10. Begin the search for Aaron Rodgers’ replacement

Aaron Rodgers, by any statistical standard, was amazing in 2019. But the future of Hall-of-Famer was far from elite throughout the season. Against the 49ers, Rodgers was terrible in both matchups. The second half of the NFC title game was the only time throughout the two games that he looked even remotely watchable.

The ultra-conservative quarterback holds the ball more than any other and is far from blameless when it comes to the struggle it was for the Packers on offense all season.

Rodgers is 36. He is sucking up a huge amount of Green Bay’s cap space and will need to either take a pay cut or substantially raise his level of play next season to prevent the Packers from blowing it up altogether.

Green Bay, with 10 draft picks, should take a quarterback on day three of the draft to start the process. Even if that prospect isn’t necessarily the long-term answer, they should draft one to add a body to the room and attempt to light a fire under the behind of Rodgers.
