Should Packers Keep Any of Their Pending Free Agents?
Green Bay might let all of their notable free agents hit the open market in 2026.
By markoldacres
The Packers have several players about to hit the open market when the new league year begins next month, giving them limited time to make overtures to bring any of them back in 2026 and beyond.
Green Bay has managed to do last minute deals in the past with the likes of Aaron Jones, but they will be better off letting this year’s crop of pending free agents test the market and possibly find pastures new.
Romeo Doubs has been an important part of Matt LaFleur’s offense during his time in Green Bay and arguably had his best year in 2025.
He is not in the upper echelon of receivers in the league though, and the Packers have Matthew Golden waiting to take on a bigger role in 2026.
Based on how Golden played in his more limited opportunities as a rookie, he deserves that chance to expand his role. It is time to let someone else read the rewards of a player like Doubs and pay him accordingly.
Rasheed Walker has been a passable if unremarkable left tackle, and not only did he not improve in 2025 to warrant an extension, he probably had the worst season of his career in a contract year.
Considering former 1st round pick Jordan Morgan is waiting in the wings, and the fact that Walker will likely command a contract that exceeds his ability, this seems like an easy decision.
Sean Rhyan filled in admirably at center after starting the season at guard. He moved around a fair bit during his time in Green Bay but could never fully nail down a starting position without injuries creating an opening.
He has been a valuable, versatile piece for the Packers, is still young and could be fairly cheap to retain. However, the stats showed he was actually one of the worst centers in the league in pass protection after moving there.
There is a chance he comes back, but it may be best to move on at this stage and look to upgrade.
Kingsley Enagbare is a bit overrated by the fan base. The former 5th rounder has made some nice plays over the years, specifically in the run game, where he has been an asset, but he is a below average pass rusher and has become less effective the more snaps he has played.
Since he probably wouldn’t cost all that much to keep, there is a world where Enagbare stays. In that case though he may serve as a progress stopper for the likes of Lukas Van Ness, Barryn Sorrell and Collin Oliver, who need more playing time to show what they can do.
Van Ness needs to be a starter next year. His performance in 2025 warrants it, as he was much more impactful down to down and his overall numbers would have looked a lot better if he didn’t miss time with injuries. Removing Enagbare from the equation would make his path easier.
Quay Walker is a three-down linebacker who is solid in all aspects, if not spectacular in any regard.
He is a good run defender and rarely misses tackles. There is a baseline of value in that, and overall he probably gets a bit of a rough time from the fans, partially because of his draft pedigree.
For what the Packers would have to pay him though, there are other linebackers who could be available who would likely cost more, but would be more worthy of the investment.
There is just no way Malik Willis will be a Packer next year. He will cost too much and should have interest from teams who can offer him a chance to at least compete to start.
John Fitzpatrick was a good blocking tight end for Green Bay, and could have had a good argument to be brought back on a cheap deal, but his torn Achilles scuppered any of those ideas.
It does not make sense to sign him back, at least he is healthy, which could be very late next season based on the timing of his injury.
With the number of players the Packers are about to set free, expect a healthy complement of compensatory draft picks for 2027.

I would keep Sean Rhyan if the price is right. Maybe Kingsley Enagbare too, although I wouldn't be surprised if another team makes an offer that is beyond what the Packers want to pay for him.
I'm hoping Rhyan can take a jump with an entire training camp at center, but they should bring in some serious competition for that job.
All those other players will most likely be moving on, along with Elgton Jenkins and Rashan Gary.

I think Rhyan should be resigned as a stop gap provided he is also cheap but as a fifth year player I doubt there will be much of a jump in his play. Usually by year five they are who they are as a player. Jacob Monk appears to be a bust and there are no other centers on the roster so Rhyan needs to be resigned, but I would certainly be looking to draft a center as well.
Quay Walker might be a resign as well depending on his price. The Packers do have Hopper and McDuffie available as replacements so the need to resign is not great.

Jesus, the guy lost his entire first year because of taking an illegal drug, and I will blame the Packers and Rhyan for that. Everyone should have been all over that from the beginning by telling the player what he can and can't take. Also informing the player anything he wants to take must be approved by the team.
Rhyan was drafted as a LT 4 years ago. He was a 3 year starting, All American LT @ UCLA. His 2nd and 3rd years in Green Bay he was moved to both OG spots because we had a need and also because GB is always trying to put square pegs in round holes.
4th year moved again to OC, where he played fairly well. He is only going to get maybe $5-6 million annually, and he can play at least 2 positions. This one seems easy to me. Sign him.

"Everyone should have been all over that from the beginning by telling the player what he can and can't take."
These guys are all taking supplements and virtually all these players work with trainers and they all know what the league is testing for. As soon as these guys become Packers, they're given a world's worth of info from the Packers from that first rookie camp on what they can and can't be taking. We don't know when he submitted the sample that failed his PED test, but it was announced later in his rookie season. I'm sorry, but that's all on Rhyan.

I agree with Greg. Rhyan is too valuable at either center or guard. It also won't cost that much to retain him. The rest can leave, no long term loss.

If Quay Walker fills the right hole in the run game, he makes the tackle. His athleticism is elite. His play recognition and coverage is not.
"However, the stats showed he was actually one of the worst centers in the league in pass protection after moving there."
If they resign Rhyan, it's with the expectation that he grows into the spot with dedicated time at the position all off-season and during camp. They MUST get the C position right. I think they can do better.

I'm always curious if not doubtful on STATS on players there Dobber, as far as Rhyan I like to watch game reruns it looked like Rhyan was physical and could move some body's around plus he snapped consistently, so lets sign him not replace him and avoid another Mary-go-round OL like they had last year...

As long as it's not blackmail.
Resign and let the rest walk.

Walker is the defense biggest need ? - you must not have listened to Grading The Roster With Ryan Wood today. Wood basically says Walker can't cover his own shadow and details how the Bears targeted him. You can't teach speed which he has nor can you teach instinct which after 3 seasons it has become obvious he does not have, you need that to cover and to make game changing plays which he does rarely.

You are fantasizing. Check out how PFF rates him, yes their grades can be questionable at times but the NFL will post PFF grades when they show the starters pictures so the League values them.
Time to rip off the Band-aid. Quay Walker’s name carries more weight than his game for the Green Bay Packers. After a lackluster, if not downright dismal final year of his rookie deal, the former 22nd overall pick will hit free agency at a price higher than the Packers should find palatable. Giving up on a first-rounder might hurt, but it’s the clear and obvious thing to do based on his performance versus teammates’ last season.
No love lost if Walker winds up elsewhere
Let’s start by recognizing that PFF grade is a flawed, incomplete measure of a player’s success. Let’s also acknowledge that it’s a more reliable metric than sack total, tackles, or fan partiality from those who have watched him grow up in the Green and Gold.
That preface aside, Pro Football Focus ranked Walker among the worst linebackers in the league. His 48.5 overall grade ranked 74th/88. Not good. In the Wild Card Round against the Bears, he cooked up a score of 39.3 as Chicago’s passing game had its way across the middle of the field with Walker in coverage.
Wendell Ferreira of A to Z Sports conveniently posted a side-by-side of Walker’s PFF-rated performance against that of his teammates in 2025.
Edgerrin Cooper 75.7 (1,046 snaps)
Isaiah McDuffie 69.4 (505)
Ty’Ron Hopper 57.2 (126 )
Quay Walker 48.5 (900)
Excluded from Ferreira’s list are Kristian Welch (66.1) and Jamon Johnson (54.2) who saw 2 and 67 defensive snaps, respectively.

Just remember that every guy in the blogosphere has a plethora of prejudices and predilections. I don't think that any of us really has any illusions as to Q. has been in his time in GB. The Packers need to figure out whether they can make more improvement with his money in other positions, or whether giving Q. what it will take to bring him back will have the bigger impact.

February 16, 2026 at 11:19 am
Money will be better spent (hopefully) on new players instead of retaining most of the outgoing FAs. Doubs will be tough to see go but I think he's gonna get paid pretty well elsewhere. It'd be cool to see him and willis end up in MIA together. Clearing Jenkins and Gary off the books would be huge for being able to upgrade a couple of those positions that have guys leaving. Rhyan definitely needs more competition than just Monk if they bring him back.

Wasn't Quay Walker the leading tackler on the team last season? That makes him a key component on the Defense. A very good defense I might add. Especially before we lost two major players to injury. Moreover Just who do you have in mind to replace Walker? A draft pick? Overpay for a different free agent? I say Find a way to keep Walker. All our defense needs is a shut down CB and we will be a top five defense.
GregC
February 16, 2026 at 11:48 am
Leading tackler=starting middle linebacker. No matter who it is. You can have the worst middle linebacker in the league, and if he plays the whole season he will probably lead the team in tackles. Quay isn't that bad, but he's not great either.

"Rasheed Walker has been a passable if unremarkable left tackle, and not only did he not improve in 2025 to warrant an extension, he probably had the worst season of his career in a contract year."
Yet amazingly he is the top rated and most coveted FA OT available this year. He is predicted to have numerous OT needy teams bidding for him which will drive his price up. In a way good for us as we will get a 3rd round comp pick for losing him. Even being a 3rd round comp, the reality is that it is basically a 4th round pick because it is so late in the round. So good and bad at the same time.
I floated the idea of signing him to a contract and trading him for a much better pick, or picks, a while back. Very knowledgeable posters on here, and there are some great people on here that really understand the financials of the NFL, said it would never work because it's basically a sign and trade, and that doesn't work in the NFL.
Lately I have seen multiple articles on big Packers sites that suggest doing just that, assign the transition tag to Walker and work out a trade to another team. Since Walker will have so much interest from multiple teams, they will be willing to trade a premium pick/picks to secure Walker and not get in a bidding war for him. Gutey could work the phones, gauge the interest, and find a taker for Walker before the draft. I understand we have to make financial moves to make this work, but unlike paying Hobbs the $6.5 million bonus on March 15th so we could buy a day 3 draft pick by trading him, this seems like a really viable way to gain back some important premium draft capitol after losing it in the Parsons deal. Which I fully supported. It's not unreasonable to think we wouldn't receive at least a 2nd round pick and a Day 3 pick as well.
It seems like the kind of move a shrewd hard working front office would try to make happen because the reward exceeds the risk, especially in a year we really need the draft help. I can see the 49ers, the Eagles or the Patriots making this kind of a game changing move, why not the Packers?
T7Steve
February 16, 2026 at 01:33 pm
The reason they explained to me that it doesn't work to sign, and trade is because all the contracts are heavy on the signing bonus now and that the team signing would have to carry it and if the player is gone (if memory serves me correctly) it's all due against that season's cap. They might be able to split it with the next season after a certain date, I think.
dobber
February 17, 2026 at 08:02 am
The only way it works is if the Packers can convince Walker to put virtually all his bonus money into unguaranteed roster and option bonuses that don't vest until the second year of the deal or later. I don't see why any player would agree to that when he can get what he wants on the open market.
Guam
February 16, 2026 at 02:20 pm
The transition tag can only be used if you want to retain the player, not trade him. The tag basically is a right of first refusal on a free agent. The free agent can get offers from other teams and the original team can match the best offer for the free agent and keep him or decline to match and lose him to the offering team. It is not a contract where the player is signed and then can be traded to another team.
If you have seen this idea floated elsewhere, the author didn't understand what a transition tag is. Please google "transition tag in the NFL" and you can get a decent summary of what a transition tag is intended to do.
I am not a big Gute fan at this point but he is far from an incompetent GM. If this "sign and trade" concept were viable today, he and every other competent GM would be all over it with their free agents. Yet you never hear about it from any NFL team. There is a reason for that........

Im not 100 percent sure GB gets a third round comp pick for R Walker golfpack . Walker filled a need for the Packers but regressed his last year, remember he was a 7th round pick and 7th rounders even if starters usually dont garner that high of a comp pick. Quay Walker might get that...
dobber
February 17, 2026 at 08:01 am
He's going to get $20M AAV on the open market. If he plays a lot where he lands, and the Packers don't cancel his contract out too much with their own signings, there's a good shot he returns a 3rd.
dobber
February 17, 2026 at 09:05 am
" assign the transition tag to Walker and work out a trade to another team."
The player is not under contract until he accepts and signs the tag. The transition tag is about $25M for LT in 2026 and I believe it encumbers on the cap as soon as the player signs the tag...so the Packers have to have at least that much cap space for a tag and trade to work.

Jenkins was in decline before they switched him to center. I don't think he would be any better at guard at this point. It will be interesting to see where he goes and how he does next season.
I like Doubs, but he's caught in a numbers game, and they just don't have room for him.

Rhyan-Yes because he will get better @ OC & he plays OG too-$5 million no brainer.
Q Walker-No because we can get the same or a slight upgrade by signing Leo Chenel for less than 1/2 of the money. And being from Wisc he will want to play in GB
Doubs-No, he will get $12-15 million per year from some WR needy team. 3rd round comp pick coming.
Enegbare-No. We can upgrade with A J Epenesa or even Jadaveon Clowney for less money, $4-5 million annually
Fitzpatrick-No-Sign FA TE Charlie Kolar-Ravens for projected $1.7 mill annually-better blocker-great hands
Willis-in a perfect world yes but he might get as much as $20-30 million per year on the open market. It's too bad there isn't a 2nd round comp pick because he might bring it. Limited QBs available.

"It's not unreasonable to think we wouldn't receive at least a 2nd round pick and a Day 3 pick as well."
R. Walker, a former 7th round pick, has been a fairly average, at best, LT who is coming off his worst year. In what universe is he bringing "at least" a 2nd round pick PLUS an additional day 3 pick? I understand it's fun to play GM, but c'mon.
I also think you are probably over valuing comp picks coming in 2027. But I hope you're right.

The highest pick that can be awarded for free agent losses is a 3rd round selection.
golfpacker61
February 16, 2026 at 08:32 pm
"Walker has started nearly every game over the past two seasons. In 2025, he ranked 15th among all tackles in pass-block win rate and allowed just five sacks in 588 pass pro snaps."
I didn't make that up as its from an article on Packers site Lombardi Ave.
"The more likely move would be a Tag and Trade. The 2026 pure tackle market is thin, both in free agency and the upcoming draft. There's flex pieces, but finding pure tackles is a difficult search and a team desperate for a 26-year-old starter might be willing to part with a late Day 2 pick to secure Walker’s services."
Same article. 26 year old LT that hasn't missed a game in 2 years. They don't grow on trees.
Because of the number of free agents we are losing, how much money they are projected to get, it has been stated in numerous articles that GB could see 4 comp picks in 2027.
dobber
February 17, 2026 at 09:13 am
The Packers will lose several guys who will earn pretty good market contracts (Willis, Walker, Walker, Doubs, maybe Rhyan), but as you imply the actual calculus on comp picks isn't easily predicted so we can only guess. The Packers are going to sign a few market FAs on their own, and each whittles away at the mysterious comp pick formula.
A transition tag doesn't really stop anyone from signing Walker away, given that the Packers have no intention of resigning him. Whatever kook podcasters are suggesting this really don't understand the transition tag. The "tag and trade" talk implies that the Packers actually have enough cap space for Walker to sign his tender so the Packers can deal him...and then they need to be prepared to keep him if they can't drum up a buyer, which would ruin the Packers' cap.
EricTorkelson
February 17, 2026 at 04:45 pm
Sorry 13timesChamps ... Q Walker may garner a 3rd round pick, R Walker ( a seventh round pick and at best an average tackle ) my guess a 4th, Doubs and Willis 5 and 6 round comps ? that is my guess ... you can only get four total and the Packers have not signed any players yet so depending on the value of players they sign it may eliminate some of them...

February 16, 2026 at 07:10 pm
Agree with most except I wouldn’t resign Ryan and Leo will command more than Quay, that’s because he was a great third round pick and Quay was a poor 1st round pick. Now they will be judged by what they have done. Leo helped the Chiefs win Super Bowls, Quay didn’t.
golfpacker61
February 16, 2026 at 08:37 pm
Leo doesn't even start for the Chiefs and he had like 60 tackles last year. Quay is projected to get $9-10 million per year. Leo has been projected @ $4-4.5 million per year. The Chiefs won Super Bowls because of Patrick Mahomes, not Leo Chenel. Chenel is a solid LB but has a smaller role with KC than Quay does in GB.
EricTorkelson
February 16, 2026 at 09:37 pm
I would do a straight up Leo Chenel for Quay Walker swap Golfpack is Chenel a free agent ?... but I think some posters are getting a little carried away with comp picks. I dont see the Packers getting multiple 3rd round comp picks the NFL is not that generous. Quay Walker being a first round selection and a full time starter signing a large contract may garner a third round comp but none of the other packers leaving as free agents will probably be in the 4th, 5th, or 6ths at best....
golfpacker61
February 17, 2026 at 08:28 am
Willis and R Walker will sign contracts for north of $20 million per year, and could bring those kind of picks easily. Yes Quay will also trigger one too because he is project to get $10-15 million per year. He is arguably the 2nd best LB available and heis really young. Doubs market is projected between $12-15 million per year. Solid WRs are expensive. Doubs could easily be worth a 4th round comp. Enagbare could get $5-6 million per year. And that's too much for a bad run defender who doesn't get many sacks.
It will depend on if we buy any outside FAs before the NFL draft, after that they don't count against what we have coming back in anyway.
dobber
February 17, 2026 at 09:21 am
The advantage to resigning Enagbare rather than a comparable DE is that he doesn't count against the Packers in the comp pick equation. I'd rather have someone with more juice who helps now rather than waiting on a comp pick, though.
I don't think Willis gets an AAV north of about $12-15M (Sportrac says $10.5M) with limited guarantees, and it's likely he only gets two years so a team can easily get out from under his contract if he flops.
EricTorkelson
February 17, 2026 at 04:27 pm
I had forgotten about Willis, A first round pick but someone who road the bench all his career, he may score a big contract and a possible 5th comp pick for the Packers it will be interesting

"Yet amazingly he is the top rated and most coveted FA OT available this year. "
That doesn't mean he's great, it just means he's the best available of a position for which quality players rarely are allowed to walk.

"That doesn't mean he's great, it just means he's the best available of a position for which quality players rarely are allowed to walk."
What it really means to GB is that he will have alot of teams interested which will drive the price up, which is why I think GB should think hard about the transition tag for Walker. Every article I have seen on the top FAs has Walker getting North of $20 million per year. Take a listen to Aaron Nagler's podcast today on what he thinks our FAs will get on the open market this year.
Walker is far from great, but he is an average starting NFL LT who happens to be 26 years old and never misses games.

Nobody is sure RT (TOM) will be healthy.
Nobody is sure LT from AZ will be able to be better than our FA to be.
We sure have a heck of a lot of holes for a 1 player away mentality from Gute.

As long as the free agents that we want back dont try to rob the bank - bring them back. With the lack of draft picks especially early - we had better hope that our scouting department have their eyes on some gems in the undrafted pool of players and we get to pick the need players up. I would hope that Rhyan ( one year less on his body after his first year) and Walker will be back - now is not the time to be trying to get too many new guys - now can we get another teams older player - like we did with Saturday - to get us through? This year the defense needs the time to develop which means that the O has to be great and score lots while that happens.

From Quay Walker's comments immediately after the season, it seems he wants out from Matt LaFleur.
