Of the Green Bay Packers’ 18 total free agents this offseason, three of them fall into the restricted free agent category. This includes offensive tackle Yosh Nijman, linebacker Krys Barnes, and tight end Tyler Davis.

Technically they can negotiate with other teams, but the current team also has the ability to place a tender on that player, which oftentimes will severely limit the restricted free agent’s market.
