Packers free agent to still sign No. 1: Duron Harmon, S
While there are needs that could undoubtedly be addressed in the front seven, the biggest worry for Packers fans when looking at the depth chart is the safety room.
Darnell Savage is the only proven commodity in the group, but even he was benched at one point last season. He needs to bounce back, but around him, guys like Rudy Ford, Tarvarius Moore, Jonathan Owens and seventh-round rookie Anthony Johnson Jr. don’t inspire a ton of confidence.
For years, Green Bay has enjoyed having veteran Adrian Amos patrolling with Savage on the back end of the secondary, but Amos saw his performance dip in the 2022 season and the Pack were content to let him walk in free agency. However, they now sit in a situation where they could still use that experienced veteran presence at safety.
Duron Harmon undeniably fits the bill better than most. Though he’ll be 32 years old this season, the longtime Patriots safety has still proven to be a quality player in coverage, which is where Green Bay is currently lacking with the group they have as currently constructed. He graded out as a high-end coverage safety in 2022, even in his age-31 season, according to PFF (subscription required).
Admittedly, there’s no guarantee that Harmon replicates that level of play at his age. But given that the Packers appear to already be rolling the dice a bit with the safety group they currently have, adding another veteran to the mix with more proven experience and play at the NFL level couldn’t hurt. More importantly, there are many ways it could help and, rest assured, this group likely needs plenty of that.
Other Safety free agents the Packers could still sign: John Johnson III, Logan Ryan, P.J. Williams
