Leader Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 PackersWire: The Packers have a few connections to the Ravens, starting with 2019 breakout star outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith. There’s a good chance Smith would willingly put in a good word for some of his former teammates: Inside linebacker Patrick Onwuasor, nose tackle Michael Pierce and outside linebacker Matt Judon all make sense as potential suitors for the Packers in free agency. None are projected to command top dollar contracts, either. Pierce, a run-stuffing nose tackle, is projected to garner a two-year, $9.5 million contract by Spotrac. The 6-foot, 340-pound menace would add much-needed help to the Packers’ porous run defense that allowed 4.9 yards per carry in 2019 (playoffs included). Because Pierce is primarily a two-down player, Green Bay likely wouldn’t have to break the bank by signing him. Then there’s Onwuasor, a core special teams player who earned more playing time as time went on. He managed to play only 473 defensive snaps in 2019 but finished with 61 tackles, five tackles for losses, one forced fumble and a pass breakup. Onwuasor is projected to command a contract worth roughly $5 million annually, according to Spotrac. Finally, Judon is likely to be the most expensive of the bunch but is probably the player with the highest upside. He’s projected by Spotrac to sign a contract worth roughly $16 million annually after producing a career-best 9.5 sacks in 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Pierce would interest me. The other two not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Pack Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 For me, my 'man crush' this offseason is Patrick Onwuasor. I know he has a ****ty PFF grade but over the last couple of seasons whenever I saw the Ravens play he really stood out to me as playa who was really active and seemed to consistently be winning matchups.

Upgrading Tyler Lancaster to Ryan Pickett would have been very helpful, but paying real money for a Ryan Pickett doesn't seem like a great investment.

This. Very much this. I'd love to upgrade Lancaster but I'm not paying the money it's going to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierce has been an effective run defender the last 2-3 years. Lancaster is probably pouring cement somewhere if not playing for GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree in principle, with Smith's, Gary and Clark, how many snaps are available in the rush package for another DL? I'd rather stop the run for a reasonable cost and get those 4 on the field in long yardage situations. If we're talking about 2018 Lancaster, OK, but 2019 Lancaster sucked.

May be all we can afford. While I'd love to have Chris Jones instead of Michael Pierce, one will cost 4x as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already heard Pettine talk over and over again about this being a passing league. I don't see Gute and Co. shelling out the money needed to sign Pierce.

So what are you doing then? Nothing and watching SF 2019 all over again? It's either upgrade or die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
