Two Available Wide Receivers Pique Packers’ Fans Interest
NFL free agency is less than a week away. At this time next week, we will likely know where some guys are going. Although NFL reporters have mentioned to not expect as much immediate movement as we’ve seen in the past. Due to the funds being less than usual, teams might not be willing to spend immediately. And because of that, we’re seeing more and more teams cut talented players. Two wide receivers were released yesterday that could both contribute for the Green Bay Packers next season, Emmanuel Sanders and John Brown. Can the Packers afford them? That remains to be seen.
Wouldn't be surprised if he wound up in GB on team friendly deal. https://t.co/o0mRzVoq2B

This tweet made a lot of Packers’ fans excited about the potential of Sanders. It is no secret that Green Bay was in the running the last two times Sanders became available. When San Francisco traded for him and when New Orleans signed him. For the latter, Sanders told Rich Eisen that Green Bay was too cold. I don’t know if this changed things for him or if he’s still a player who cannot figure out that Green Bay isn’t playing in fucking Moscow. We’ll see on the Sanders’ front.
As for Brown, the idea of him with Aaron Rodgers is one to marvel at. Brown is similar to Marquez Valdes-Scantling as he’s a burner who can be a vertical threat. In the last few years, he’s showed more than that. Brown had almost 72 catches in 2019. What Brown would give Green Bay is more speed and another deep threat for Rodgers. Green Bay has only one home run hitter in MVS. Why not add a second one? Do you know how hard that would be to stop if you’re a defense. They would have to choose one or play on an island. Either do not sound fun.
We’ll see if Green Bay makes any moves. We’re at the point of the pre-free agency where everyone sounds good to Packers’ fans.
