Before training camp, the Green Bay Packers might still be adding players, thus it might make sense to get a cheap veteran like linebacker Kwon Alexander.
Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox revealed a few inexpensive free agent choices. Furthermore, they offered a few possible suitors for every veteran that was available.
Knox outlined the reasons why Alexander would be a good fit for Green Bay.
Knox stated, “Alexander should be available at a team-friendly price due to his injury history and age.” Alexander’s skills could also be useful to the Green Bay Packers, who lost linebacker De’Vondre Campbell early in the summer. Alexander might assist in developing rookie second-round pick Edgerrin Cooper in Green Bay.
The Packers wouldn’t be making the most dramatic move. It might, nevertheless, provide the squad with some real depth at linebacker.
