Still ahead, right now, they've got 21 free agents hitting the market, split across unrestricted, restricted, and exclusive rights categories. That's a big chunk of the team that could walk or stay. Nine unrestricted guys lead the pack, including 26-year-old wide receiver Romeo Doves, linebacker, Kway Walker, quarterback Malik Willis, and offensive lineman Sean Ryan. These vets with four-plus years can shop anywhere without limits. Then six restricted free agents like defensive ends, Kingsley and Egberi and Brinton Cox Jr. face qualifying offers that might keep them in Green Bay. With draft pay compensation, Packers fans are buzzing about who sticks around especially core pieces like Walker on defense and Doves catching passes.

Special teams players like Christian Welch and Zayn Anderson add depth questions too. Four exclusive rights free agents, including cornerback Bow Melton and lineman Donovan Jennings, face simpler choices. Take the minimum one-year deal or bounce. No outside bids allowed if offered. Meanwhile, the draft looms as a reset button for roster holes. As questions pour in from fans wondering about Willis' future or Ryan's line spot, keep watching this space. These decisions will define Green Bay's. Run game next ball.
