Robby Anderson rumors: 5 best fits in NFL free agency

1. Green Bay Packers

There may not be a team in the NFL that needs a wide receiver more than the Green Bay Packers. There were plenty of issues for the Packers in their NFC Championship Game loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but a poor supporting cast for Aaron Rodgers was a major one.

Davante Adams and Aaron Jones are good, but no one else is capable of making plays on that offense. Allen Lazard flashed some potential, but guys like Geronimo Allison and Marques Valdez-Scantling didn’t produce at all.

The 49ers were well aware of that, double-teaming Adams to force Rodgers to beat them with lesser weapons. Rodgers couldn’t do that, making it awfully easy for the 49ers to dominate them on defense.

Adding Robby Anderson would add an explosive vertical threat opposite Adams, giving the Packers a dynamic 1-2 punch on the outside. This alignment would give Lazard a chance to develop as a slot receiver, which would round out the group much more effectively.

Green Bay finally made aggressive plays in free agency last winter, signing Preston and Zadarius Smith to big deals that bet on their upside. Anderson is in a similar class, and he could be in line for a huge leap forward playing with a future Hall-of-Famer at quarterback.
