Back to EpisodesPackers Consider Nakobe Dean for Linebacker Role
Description
The Green Bay Packers free agency period is heating up, with nearly twenty-five players potentially leaving, including linebacker Quay Walker. Despite high expectations, Walker never fully met them, leading to no fifth-year option last year. ESPN analyst Aaron Schatz suggests Nakobe Dean, Walkers former college teammate, as a top free-agent target. Dean, a twenty-five-year-old Eagle, impressed with his pass rush and run defense skills, but has injury concerns. Hes projected for a team-friendly seven point nine million dollars per year, compared to Walkers eight point three million market value. New defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon knows Dean well, making this a serious consideration for the Packers.
