The Packers could have burned the boats, offsetting comp picks and borrowing money from the future for the sake of the 2026 squad, but that clearly wasn\u2019t the path they went down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I\u2019m sure there were compensatory free agents they would have considered at certain price points, like the high-end cornerbacks, but Jaylen Watson almost immediately signed with the Los Angeles Rams, and Tariq Woolen took a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, which wouldn\u2019t have done much for Green Bay if their eyes were truly set on 2027. (Woolen probably wants to make a much higher APY in 2027, which is why he took the one-year deal with Philadelphia. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-free-agency\/80451\/nfl-free-agency-2026-day-1-recap\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The market pushed back on cornerback pricing, compared to 2025 free agency.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Instead, the Packers have mostly worked the special teams market, bringing in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-free-agency\/80483\/some-thoughts-on-the-benjamin-st-juste-signing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">high-volume contributor in Benjamin St-Jude<\/a> (who offset the phantom Kingsley Enagbare comp pick) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/80543\/packers-sign-returner-skyy-moore\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">returner Skyy Moore<\/a> (who has the potential to offset the Quay Walker fifth-round comp pick, depending on which incentives in his deal actually end up hitting).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Obviously, some fans aren\u2019t too happy that the team hasn\u2019t spent its way out of injuries that could potentially impact pass-rusher Micah Parsons, defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt, tight end Tucker Kraft and right tackle Zach Tom early in the 2026 season. If you had to change anything about the Packers\u2019 free agent process, what would you have done?
