PackersRoundtable Podcast: Packers Free Agency Recap and Thoughts on Miami’s Malik Willis Gamble
The Green Bay Packers shake things up via free agency, losing key players and gaining new talent. Malik Willis' gamble also sparks debate. Tune in!
We're back and better than ever. Some time off was needed to process the ups and downs of the Green Bay Packers ' 2026 offseason, but that time away has brought some clarity on the initial flurry of moves. Gone are several players who made an impact for the Packers over the past few seasons in Green Bay, and we salute them for their time in the green and gold.
Quay Walker got paid by the Las Vegas Raiders. Rasheed Walker was forced to take a one-year prove-it deal with the Carolina Panthers. The Packers traded Colby Wooden to the Indianapolis Colts and everyone's favorite backup, Malik Willis, got life-changing money thanks to a big deal with the Miami Dolphins.
There are some new faces in Green Bay as well, though. Linebacker Zaire Franklin came back to Green Bay in the trade with Indy and he's absolutely going to be the one-for-one replacement for Quay Walker. The Packers made a big move on the defensive line by bringing in defensive tackle Javon Walker, who has some elite experience playing for Jonathan Gannon, the new defensive coordinator in Green Bay.
The Packers made a nice depth signing at corner with the addition of Benjamin St-Juste and Skyy Moore is an incredibly intriguing signing as a kick return specialist. Perhaps the Packers really are taking special teams seriously this offseason. Oh, let's not forget our old friend Sean Rhyan, either.
