Jordan Poyer rumors: 5 best fits in free agency
By Jakob Ashlin
Best fits for Jordan Poyer in free agency: 4. Green Bay Packers
Green Bay does not match Poyer’s desired criteria. There is state income tax in Wisconsin. It has very cold weather.
Nevertheless, it would be a perfect football fit. Adrian Amos will be a free agent, so strong safety will be a big need for the Packers. In addition, the Packers’ secondary has room to improve. Last season, they were 15th in the NFL in passer rating allowed (88.3). If Aaron Rodgers returns, the organization will remain in win-now mode, and Poyer would be a big addition.
At the moment, the Packers are set to have $16.95 million in cap space to work with, per Spotrac. Spotrac projects Poyer’s market value to be $11 million per season, so the Packers have the ability to make a competitive offer to Poyer.
Still, the off-the-field factors place the Packers behind three other teams on this list.
