Before free agency officially begins, the Green Bay Packers have already been busy.
The team has a few of their own players set to hit the open market, but before they do, the Packers of course have a chance to get some deals done with those they prefer not to leave. Already, Green Bay has done so with linebacker Isaiah McDuffie on Monday morning, re-signing him to a two-year deal to keep him around.
As for other impending free agents, this would be the week to get something done. When the legal tampering window opens next Monday, it's essentially a free-for-all.
One specific free agent the Packers could end up seeing walk is starting center Josh Myers. There are some teams in desperate need of help at the position (cough, Chicago) and Myers' market might be stronger than Packer fans think.
ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler seems to agree, too, believing Myers will indeed have a strong market.
Josh Myers won't be back with the Packers if this latest report comes true
"Packers center Josh Myers has started 50 games for Green Bay since 2022, so he should have a strong market, too," Fowler wrote in a recent column.
"While Myers went down for what appeared to be a significant injury in the playoffs, I'm told he came out of the game unscathed and has no injury from the play. He's getting no treatment and is completely healthy entering free agency," he finished.
Other notable options entering free agency alongside Myers are the Atlanta Falcons' Drew Dalman and the Indianapolis Colts' Ryan Kelly, both of whom are toward the top of the list at the position.

Myers won't get as much as someone like Dalman, but if there's a team that swings and misses on the Falcons' impending free agent, then Myers becomes a likely backup plan. The former second-round pick out of Ohio State is only 26 years old and has potential to ascend, still, at his age.
Last season, Myers started 16 games and allowed just one sack and was called for four penalties, per Pro Football Focus. He did, however, give up 29 pressures on the season. While his pass-blocking grade was fine (63.4), Myers struggled in the run game at times and finished with a grade of just 52.2 in that department.
Whether or not fans want him back is irrelevant as it seems Myers is probably on his way out. The Packers likely won't pay a premium to bring him back, especially when other positions seem to be at the forefront of their priority list.
