These are five upcoming free agents that the Green Bay Packers should consider to fill their need at safety for the 2019 season. During the course of the 2018 calendar year, the Green Bay Packers added a lot of talent to their secondary at the cornerback position. However due to injuries, trading Ha Ha Clinton-Dix,

HaHa Clinton-Dix is a free agent . . . maybe the Packers could bring him in for a test drive?

Also I could be wrong on this, but Earl Thomas to Dallas almost seems like a lock (Thomas loves Texas, they got the former Seahawks coach leading them, and Jerry Jones loves hype and publicity, especially since it's gonna be a local boy), and I believe Mathieu openly said he took less money to in a strong defense and play closer to "home" (New Orleans), so I doubting he's a option for the Packers.

I think there will be a bidding war for Collins, at least if NFL teams think the same as fans... and some have suggested he might even get franchised tagged (I haven't looked up tag numbers to see if that's likely).

I wanted to draft Amos out of college, I said he would be the future Hyde.

I wonder what out former one year Titans coach thinks of the one year Titans Safety in Vaccaro... especially after facing him him for two years, when coach was with the Falcons and player was with the Saints.

IMO, the real question is, what Defensive Pro Bowlers will also be free agents this offseason?
I say examine all of your options before committing to any course of action. A Safety may be out there that would fit into GB's DC's lineup. Strengthening the Safety position with a great FA could only ease the way to drafting an offensive lineman or edge rusher with GB's #12 draft pick.

I know that all 5 players will not be available for GB to bid on.

Collins, Mathieu and Amos would be the best options. If they aren't available then GB needs to move on.

I thought Hyde and Amos has similar physical skill sets and would be similar type players.
Out of curiosity, I just looked up their PFF grade and they're ranked #7 and #8 Safety this last year.

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.
