The Green Bay Packers already are a Super Bowl contender in the NFC right now.
Green Bay is 11-5 on the season so far and already looks like one of the best teams in the NFC. The Packers would have a higher seed right now if they weren’t in the best division in football. The Minnesota Vikings currently are 14-2 while the Detroit Lions are 13-2 heading into their Week 17 showdown.
The Packers are loaded throughout the roster, but could use a boost in the secondary. Because of this, Bleacher Report’s scouting department predicted the team will add Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. this upcoming offseason to possibly replace Jaire Alexander.
“2025 Free Agency: CB Asante Samuel Jr., Los Angeles Chargers,” Bleacher Report said. “Green Bay is widely expected to be looking for some cornerback help seeing as Eric Stokes is an impending free agent and hasn’t played well. Also, Jaire Alexander has struggled to stay on the field over the last two years, and the club could save $17.5 million of cap space by making Alexander a post-June 1 cut, per Over The Cap.
“Meanwhile, Samuel will likely be one of the top corners on the open market. He’ll be just 26 years old in October and has impressive ball skills with 37 passes defended in 50 career games. However, the current Charger has missed the majority of the current campaign with a shoulder injury, so this pairing would depend on how his medicals check out.”
Samuel is just 25 years old and looked like a budding star across his first three seasons. He has only played four games this season but still could be a solid pickup after the season.
