Sunday’s game was certainly a lot closer than it needed to be, but the Green Bay Packers managed to get back on track in Carolina. Green Bay’s playoff hopes are still alive, but it has a crucial, must-win matchup with Minnesota next week.

De’Vondre Campbell has battled injuries all year and missed Sunday’s game with a neck injury. He also had a cryptic post/tweet on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, seen below.
“Not going out my way anymore and I’m not playing through injuries anymore cause when s*** goes wrong they always use it against you. I’m treating everyone accordingly and giving them the same energy they giving me. Focus on yourself and your mental 59 you owe it to yourself.”
So, it might be smart to bring in another veteran linebacker seeing as the Packers’ playoff hopes are still alive.
2024 Free Agency: G Kevin Dotson, Los Angeles Rams
Jon Runyan is an impending free agent and hasn’t been much more than an average player throughout his career, including this season. Meanwhile, Dotson (27) is only a year older than Runyan (26) and is putting together a strong campaign with a strong 83.2 grade from Pro Football Focus heading into Week 16.
LaFleur used to be Sean McVay’s offensive coordinator in Los Angeles and those two come from the Shanahan coaching tree, so Dotson should have some familiarity with the system in Green Bay.
This signing might take some financial maneuvering by the Packers, as they’re estimated to have about $6.5 million in cap space to begin the offseason, per Spotrac. However, they do have a few contracts that they can get out of to save some money, most notably David Bakhtiari’s.
2024 NFL Draft: S Kamren Kinchens, Miami
The Packers have several safeties whose contracts are about to expire, including starter Darnell Savage. Kinchens could be a good option to replace Savage, as the former Hurricane is currently the top free safety on B/R’s NFL draft big board.
“Kinchens is a versatile defender in the pass game,” B/R’s defensive backs scout Cory Giddings said in his scouting report for the Miami product. “He has countless snaps as both a deep defender from the one-high look and in man coverage from the slot. He does a good job of playing under control in his backpedal, displaying quick feet to get out of his pedal and drive on the ball.
“Kinchens has good route recognition and the ability to read and react to the quarterback’s eyes, especially when in underneath coverage. His ball skills shine through with his ability to locate the ball and the range to cover grass.
“Though he does a good job of anticipating the throw, he has poor eye discipline, allowing double-moves or eye candy to take him out of position in the pass game.”
