Packers Huddle

Davis is the forgotten guy for those of us who hardly remember a month ago, let alone a full year ago (almost). Good point!

I suspect GB will also consider bringing back Tyler Davis if he's recovered from his August ACL injury
He'll be 11 months into his recovery when TC starts and was really starting to show something. Packers had high hopes for his 2023 campaign

" TE Tyler Davis has the real possibility being TE1 this year. He's gotten praise from Gutekunst, Bisaccia, and Lafleur multiple times this off season! Excited to see what he can bring to the table this year!"




Musgrave/Kraft/Sims/Davis and maybe Deguara at FB gives you the ST snaps you need while giving MLF plenty to work with on offense

Davis has a 0.0001% chance of being TE1. He probably makes the roster as a core STs player and 4th string TE. No shot he’s getting significant snaps on offense unless injuries plague the position.

Can the Packers afford Antoine Winfield? Looks like with our new DC, safety is critical, and you can't draft and start a first year safety. It's about the longest developing position on the field.

Short answer is yes…but at a present player/future cap cost.

It is possible they are stuck with Bakh and his 40 million no matter what they do. Depends on his injury situation.

As for Davis, I would rather see him playing ST than Deguara getting blown up trying to block. Sims is likely to remain TE#3 and IMO has more potential than Davis.

If we don't resign Runyan and move on Bak, I would love Lucas Patrick as a sign this spring.

Immediate competition with Rhyan, can get you through a few games without Myers, Jenkins or Rhyan, already knows the offense (going from LaFleur to Getsy).

Probably would cost right around that same 2 year $8m contract he just signed with the Bears. Can't imagine if we offer a similar contract as the Bears he's prefer to stay in that dumpster fire.


Even if we just flood the OL with draft picks, could certainly end up with a Rhyan and Walker level rookie contributions, I think we'd be real real thin there without adding a known vet.

What about Nijman? Sounds like he will test the market for more money and playing time. But what if he returns?

You make a compelling case, especially if GB is looking to make a run in 2024. Vet IOL can be super valuable.
I think they'll try for a younger version of Lucas, but if they want the security of a proven OL - then you can do a lot worse than him.

I think Ben Simms has taken Davis's TE spot. The only spot Davis could fill is that H Back role. I also expect they will scour the Draft and UDFA to try and find that Full Back/H Back role who can block in open spaces.

DeGuara absolutely sucked in this role.

Davis was a core STs player on multiple units. If it came down to a 53 and game day roster I think Davis would win. I think both end up on the roster though next season. Musgrave, Kraft, Sims, and Davis is a really good group.
