Packers Huddle

Sounds like 1 year 1.2M, pretty close to the vet min.

Hard to argue with that.

Good re-sign. Between him, Smith, and Enagbare, we have an adequate rotation and depth at EDGE until Gary gets back.

Not to mention, a nice group to give you the flexibility to rush Nolan Smith from any number of spots on the field ala Reddick or maybe to move a guy like LVN inside and be an interior rusher on passing downs....

Love the move esp at the price.

Still would take Johnson or a rook

I have always liked him and thought he flashed usefulness last year. Glad he’s back if only for insurance

.

I like how Hollins took a visit to see the Giants...and then the Packers stepped up and signed him.
These are the kind of pre-draft moves GMs like to make so they aren't really over a barrel at any position.

Unfortunately, Garvin just hasn't made the leap. No clue on La'Darius Hamilton

Yeah. To be fair, I’m not of the opinion that this signing in any way impacts our draft plans. But it is nice to have in house depth in case the draft doesn’t fall a certain way.

This draft has useful edge players straight through round 4 or 5. We should still take one. But Hollins is a nice 5th guy in the rotation who can play special teams and still has some notion of upside left in him.

This is a good move. Hollins was solid as a rotational pass rusher. Opportunity will be there for him early in the season to make an impact.

I like Hollins! Glad he’s back.

Love to have him back. Usually backup OLBs are just invisible, but Hollins popped with a good play or few in every game.

Here's the sack vs Hurts, Hollins runs him down from behind
.

And here's some Justin Hollins highlights from his time in LA
He spent time with Fangio in Denver and Staley & Barry in LA before joining GB. He's a different body type than the bigger 270 lb EDGE players we've seen in the past. Rams used Leonard Floyd and Justin Hollins - both are longer, but lighter players

Worth noting that Floyd is also a free agent

Good signing, I like it for the price. Essentially gives us the same EDGE group from last year. I assume we will add to that with the draft, but gives a decent depth to the room.

Agreed - and I've got it listed this way:

OLB1 - R. Gary
OLB2 - P. Smith
OLB3 - - not on the roster-
OLB4 - K.Enagbare
OLB5 - J.Hollins

Smith has a March 2024 roster bonus due (5M), that's the decision point on whether you have his replacement on the roster

Since you put it this way, Hollins brings a great amount of value and is a very good FA signing for Guty (another one).

Decided to write out the ILBs too

ILB1 - DeVondre Campbell
ILB2 - Quay Walker
ILB3 - not on roster
ILB4 - Isaiah McDuffie
ILB5 - Eric Wilson

RFA - Krys Barnes was not tendered but there's a place for him in GB IF he is content in a back up role.
IF he wants an easier path to snaps, he'll sign with one of the lesser talented teams in the NFC North
