Green Bay Packers are approaching a free agency in 2025 without free agents priorities, a immense salary space and the need to add veterans to adolescent talent, inexpensive and growing list.
A year after signing the security of Xavier McKinney and the escape of Josh Jacobs in a free agency, the general director Brian Gutekunst is able to make another splash in 2025.
As long as the free Packers Wire agency goes through potential options, continuing from the Drew Dalman Center today, trying to identify the advantages and disadvantages of every potential goal for Gutekunst.
Dalman, the choice of draft in 2021 Falcons Atlanta, is one of the most desirable free agents of the cycle.
Let’s give the advantages and disadvantages of Packers following Dalman:
Professionals
-Dalman is probably the best available center available to a free agent and a powerful candidate to replace Josh Myers if Green Bay turns on.
– Still in his career at the age of 26.
– According to the Pro Football Focus class, Dalman took third place for 32 centers, which played at least 500 snaps in 2024. He finished second in 2023.
– Dalman is an elite running blocker, earning 79.8 in 2024 and dominant 90.0 in 2023, on Pff.
Dalman is ideal for a rush scheme in the Green Bay zone. He moves Really Good in space and is running in climbing to the second level.
– He is not known for being greatest The middle, but Dalman compensates with it with placing his hand, the technique and leg of the legs.
– considered an elite athlete leaving Stanford, publishing 9.92 races, what was The fifth highest of all time at that time. Packers love athletes.
– Good NFL blood lines. His father, Chris Dalman, was appointed in the sixth round by 49ers in 1993 and began 64 matches as a guard and center.
A realistic FA goal for #Packers This season out of season:
Falcons C Drew Dalman
✅57 games (40 starts)
✅ 4. The highest PFF rating among centers in ’24
✅ 5. In blocking, 22 in blocking of the application (from 64)Untimated (6-3, 300 pounds), but uses the work of the legs and a hand in his favor. pic.twitter.com/svawx6gqzs

Defects
– It does not offer much positional flexibility, which is desired by Green Bay in offensive liners. Dalman could potentially fill the guard, but only in emergency.
– I missed eight games in 2024 due to ankle injury.
-Is the perfect NFL size (6-3, 305) and can fight at the attack point because of the restricted game force.
– He must improve the pass protection. Dalman allowed two bags and 10 pressure in nine matches this season, ending 23 place in the scope of blocking the pass from 39 qualifying centers (at least 200 snaps blocking the pass).
– – Has a tendency Give up the lands to Rusher Bulls.
-Bringing one of the few long -term options at the center of this free agency, Dalman probably ordered a powerful contract. There is a real chance that it becomes the second best paid center in the league for Creed Humphrey in Kansas City.
-Green Bay historically prefers to design and develop centers, and not spend immense in a free agency, making a decision that they must be sure before they commit to a long -term contract. If Dalman did not move, it would be a costly mistake.
