NFL free agency rumors: 3 free agents for the Packers to target this offseason
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Green Bay Packers. player. OC. Corey Linsley. 2. 49
One of the reasons for Rodgers’ success was the evolution of his offensive line. Both Corey Linsley and David Bakhtiari were named to the 2020 All-Pro team after the success they had in both the running game and passing attack.
Linsley might be the biggest surprise of all members on staff. Since entering the league in 2014, there’s no denying his importance to the team. However, this season, the 29-year-old gem has been near flawless against the pass rush, allowing four pressures all season and only one sack.
Linsley is going to be a sought-after free agent due to what he can do after pre-snap. Rodgers might be a tad too old to be starting fresh with a rookie expected to pick up the production in the NFC North. More than that, there’s only a handful of center prospects that are even good enough to be considered starters in their first season.
Will it be expensive to bring back Linsley? For sure. Would it be worth it if Rodgers can continue to put up numbers like the ones we saw in 2020? For sure.
