Packers Daily: Unfinished Pre-Draft Business

Brian Gutekunst tends to make sure his roster doesn't force him to reach for a glaring need, which leads one to believe there could be a move or two yet to be made prior to the start of the NFL Draft.

If GB could sign Calais Campbell after the draft for $5 million. Another FA signing of an Edge would really solidfy the Packers DL, maybe Jadavion Clowney for under $5 million. Or a cheaper signing of A J Epenesa if he passes a physical.

A FA signing of a vet CB would sure help. Dairyland Express just posted this article on possible FA CB:

Martin Emerson Jr. is Worth the Gamble for the Packers-Emerson Jr. suffered a season-ending injury in training camp with the Browns ahead of the 2025 campaign. He had a down year in 2024, but his physical tools and athleticism made him a prime bounce-back candidate.

Emerson broke out in year three, logging 80 total tackles (62 solo), three tackles for loss, five passes defensed, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovered, playing and starting all 17 games for Jim Schwartz's defense. As a rookie, Pro Football Focus gave him a 72.5 grade, a 72.4 pass-rush grade, and a 75.1 coverage grade, so the potential to be a difference-maker on the back end is most definitely there.

Standing at 6'2" and weighing in at 201 pounds, Emerson is a big-bodied cornerback who can hold his own against larger and possibly stronger receivers. He has covered tight ends and running backs, lining up all over the field; in the box, in the slot, and outside. Of course, there are always risks when it comes to players coming off an Achilles tear, but he makes perfect sense on a one-year "prove it" contract.

Also Kelee Ringo could be a cut candidate for the Eagles. They have great starters now and he might be the odd man out. He is big like Emerson above. Both would be vet minimum players. What do you think.

Nags do you know how the Packers feel about Pierre Strong and Martinez? I would guess they are even with Marshawn Lloyd at this point. Also TE Sam Roush looks like a perfect get for GB. 6'6 260 9.99 RAS and a great blocker.
