The Packers still have room to make one more move before training camp, and the list of realistic bargain additions is a short one. Green Bay has taken heat for not making a splash in 2026 free agency, but that criticism overlooks the impact players the team expects back after an injury-hit 2025 season. Even so, the job is never really done, and there are still a few veteran names that could help.
One obvious place to look is tight end, where Tucker Kraft’s return from an ACL injury is still a question of timing. The Packers are comfortable there once he’s back up to speed, but they can’t count on Luke Musgrave to carry the load.
With Jordan Love already down key receiver pieces, adding another weapon early would take some pressure off Kraft as he works back from a serious injury. Jonnu Smith fits that idea.
On the edge, Leonard Floyd makes plenty of sense as a steady veteran presence. He spent last season helping fuel the league’s second most productive pass rush and also served as a useful guide for Atlanta’s younger players. Green Bay could use that same kind of rotational help, especially with Lukas Van Ness needing to stay healthy and deliver the kind of jump the Packers are clearly expecting.
Joey Bosa belongs in the same conversation, though there’s one major wrinkle: he appears to be weighing retirement. Still, if anything could pull him back, it might be the chance to join a historic franchise and line up opposite Micah Parsons. For Packers fans, that would be the kind of addition that immediately makes sense on paper and calms some of the concern at the position.
Then there’s Nick Chubb, who stands out as the best remaining insurance option behind Josh Jacobs. Green Bay is still waiting on the legal process to play out and for the league to decide whether a suspension is coming, so the backfield picture isn’t fully settled. Chubb is nearing the end of an underrated career, but as a wildcard depth piece, he would give the Packers another veteran option to lean on.

Josh Jacobs Situation Is Becoming A Real Packers Camp Concern
Josh Jacobs return to Packers camp has put an uncomfortable off-field issue back in the middle of the football conversation. The veteran running back was arrested in Wisconsin in late May, and while the team has kept its public stance quiet, the situation has lingered long enough to become part of the backdrop as Green Bay tries to get through the early stages of camp with its roster intact and its focus on the field.
Matt LaFleur and the Packers have been careful not to rush into public judgments, and some teammates have acknowledged the matter without offering much detail. For a team that is trying to build momentum heading into the season, the uncertainty around Jacobs adds another layer of unease, especially with the legal process still unfolding and the organization waiting for more clarity before deciding what comes next.

Benjamin St-Juste May Decide How Far Packers Secondary Can Go
Benjamin St-Juste arrived in Green Bay on a two-year deal and quickly became one of the more interesting names in a cornerback room that has drawn plenty of attention for other reasons. Rookie Brandon Cisse may have generated the draft buzz, but St-Juste brings something the Packers can use right away: real starting experience and a track record that suggests he can help stabilize the depth chart.
The bigger question is whether he ends up doing more than that. St-Juste was graded as one of the better corners in the league last season by Pro Football Focus, and his ability to line up in coverage gives Green Bay another veteran option as it sorts through the competition behind its top corners. If he pushes his way into the mix for a starting role, the Packers secondary could look a lot different than the early offseason chatter suggested. [Read more 🡒]
