Packers will pursue Nick Kwiatkoski
The Bears linebacker could soon join the Green and Gold.

By PackerAaron

According to multiple sources here in Indianapolis during the scouting combine, the Packers plan to make a run at soon-to-be-former Bears linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski.

A former fourth round draft pick, Kwiatkoski has played 57 games, totaling 133 solo tackles (13 for a loss), six sacks, eight quarterback hits, four forced fumbles, one interception and eight pass breakups.

IIRC Beast was the first person to recognize that the Bears had 4 ILBs who were high quality.

I like this kid. He will be a great fit if we don't neuter him, i.e. take away is aggressiveness.

Also, as with Amos, I like taking quality players from division opponents, especially the Bares.

On another unrelated note, Mitch Trubisky was in front of me at the check-in line at Ohare yesterday. He attempted to hand his boarding pass to the American Airlines agent, but he overthrew her.

I assume they'll resign one of them, and thought they would go with the younger, more athletic, less injured and more upside Kwiatkoski. But Trevathan has been called a locker room leader and team captain a lot too even while injured,sounds like he lead the locker room and guys looked up to him.

But I've been thinking the Packers could sign one of them, or the Browns ILB to fill in at ILB.

I think you HAD to look at Nick Kwiatkoski in FA, as he might be the best in pass coverage and he's young and a willing hitter, just got stuck when the Bears signed a very good veteran FA with great team leading skills and drafted one of the most athletic LBers in the entire NFL.

Back in 2016 when Danny Trevathan became a FA I wished GB had signed him. Since then I changed my mind. He has been injured so much (He's missed significant games in 4 of his 8 seasons.) it is hard to imagine getting the correct value out of his contract. Now that he will be 30 this season I am even more skeptical. More than likely this will be his last big contract and he will be looking for more than the 4 years $24 million he bares gave him.
