Green Bay Packers are approaching a free agency in 2025 without free agents priorities, a gigantic amount of salary space and the need to add veterans to a juvenile, low-cost 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 passes through potential options, starting from today from the Tee Higgins receiver, trying to identify the advantages and disadvantages of every potential goal for Gutekunst.
Higgins, Draft selection in 2020 Bengal Cincinnati, the number is one of the most desirable free means of the cycle.
Let’s give the advantages and disadvantages of the Packers following Higgins:
Professionals
-Higgins is a gigantic receiver (6-4) with justified differential ability. At least 8.0 yards for the target in all five NFL seasons and has an average career of 9.0 yards for a target – an excellent number. According to meters, the Higgins route has an average of 1.92 jar – another perfect sign. Fully uses his capabilities.
– Higgins are only 26 years elderly. Fits the last model of signing Young, rising players who leave their debutant contracts.
– Packers may need in the receiver No. 1. Higgins could qualify. In fact, it can be a similar addition to Eagles trade for AJ Brown in 2022.
– Higgins caught 10 sewing passes in 2024, including seven in a red zone. Although he often plays Robin in Batman Ja’marra Chase, Higgins has 34 careers in just 70 matches.
-Higgins can play outside or in the nest, which gives him the multi -purpose versatility that receivers require. Higgins played about 20 percent of his snaps.
– Higgins is a reliable football catcher. In his career, only 6.5 percent of goals fell, including only two total declines in 2024.
-O 6-4 Higgins is a great winner, and his amazing fishing radius would give Jordan the love of the recipient who can improve him when the throws are not perfect.
– Higgins is great at intermediate. It is uncomplicated to imagine how he led all routes required from the X receiver in Matt Lafleur’s crime.
– Packers will spread the ball in the attack, which suits Higgins, which has never received more than 110 goals in the season. It has been proven that it can be a valuable and effective cutting without a super high volume.
Defects
– It will be steep, no doubt. Last year, Calvin Ridley signed a four -year contract worth $ 92 million from Tennessee Titans, and Ridley was not at Higgins as a free agent. A contract worth at least $ 25 million per season may be required – and probably approaches $ 30 million. The competition will be fierce.
– It is still possible that it will not be available at all. The franchise tag remains in the game.
– Playing opposite Ja’marr Chase probably made his life easier as a receiver. There is always a risk of Allen Lazard – that playing with the star No. 1 has raised his performance to unbalanced levels.
– Packers like to prepare and develop wide receivers, and their achievements in finding high quality receivers on the day of the second day and developing them in good players are impressive. Does Gutekunst want to hand over a wide receiver of the highest class offer?
-Higgins lost time for an injury-in this five games in 2024 and five more in 2023. Soft tissue injuries constitute a justified concern-the history of problems with the popliteal tendon will be found.
-Higgins do not have an elite speed and may not be a kind of packers stretching receiver that Packers need. But it would be a preference or style. Packers can absolutely fit Higgins to a passing game, as they are currently built.
– Packers have gigantic financial decisions to make on their own recipients after 2025. Romeo Dobs and Christian Watson are free agents, and Jayden Reed can set up a gigantic, modern contract. Many puzzles to be considered in the receiver this season.
