Tuesday Cheese Curds: The Packers’ hectic offseason is highlighted by the NFL Combine

Although Brian Gutekunst is busy this offseason, he most likely
likes this year over the previous one.
Consider this: a year ago, everyone was speculating about the potential trade of Aaron Rodgers.

It is accurate to say that Rodgers had not yet declared his desire to play for the New York Jets in 2023. Even though Rodgers’ influence on Gang Green was fleeting, the Packers’ offseason was dominated by the controversy around whether or not he would be traded.

Thank God, however, there isn’t a narrative like this year. Brian Gutekunst’s only task for this season is to figure out how to use this year’s crucial draft class and prudent free agent spending to keep his young, promising roster developing ahead of schedule.

I’m sure Gutekunst prefers this type of offseason over one where he has to handle the transition away from a Hall of Fame quarterback, even if that has its issues. While it’s difficult to characterize any offseason as regular, the Packers are at least able to concentrate on players who will be on their roster come fall as they prepare for the NFL Combine.
