The safety position is potentially the biggest need that the Green Bay Packers have to address this offseason. The good news is that this is a fairly deep free agent class at the position, although Green Bay will have to be conscious of what the team spends.
Of the 100 free agents that made PFF’s top-100 list, 14 of them were at the safety position – the most of any position on the list. Since this is a deep free-agent class, there can be quality starters found on contracts that suit the Packers’ salary cap situation. The top free agents will still collect big paydays, but as basic economics has taught us, the more quality options that are available on an open market will help keep prices, or contracts in this instance, from going wild and oftentimes providing alternatives that won’t break the bank.
