According to a Green Bay Packers insider, the team may pursue safety in free agency after winning the Super Bowl.

In 2024, the Green Bay Packers defense will not resemble the one it has for the most of the previous 20 years. Dom Capers, Mike Pettine, and Joe Barry—the previous three defensive coordinators for the Packers—all employed a 3-4 strategy. Matt LaFleur replaced Barry with former Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley, who has experience coaching in a 4-3 strategy.

It also implies that they’ll wear single-high safety looks more frequently. This naturally causes one of their top priorities for the summer to be the safety position.

The only noteworthy player who played safety for the Green Bay Packers in the previous season and has a contract until 2024 is Anthony Johnson Jr. 2019 first-round selection Darnell Savage is now a free agent after using up his fifth-year option. After playing on one-year contracts the previous season, Rudy Ford and Jonathan Owens are both free agents.
