The former Bronco and Jaguar was recently released and could have been a good fit in Green Bay."Although the negotiation period for free agency does not start until noon Eastern today Mike Daniels Jersey , the Green Bay Packers are in the news for an interesting rumor. The assumed needs for this team are pass rush off the edge and safety, but the team is apparently looking into defensive linemen for Mike Pettine’s unit as well.While interest has remained strong between the Packers and Muhammad Wilkerson about a reunion for 2019, the team may be looking elsewhere for help as well. According to Pro Football Talk, the Packers are one of two teams in the running to sign defensive lineman Malik Jackson, who was recently released by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Because Jackson was cut instead of having an expiring contract, he is free to negotiate and sign a deal before free agency officially begins.UPDATE: According to ESPN’s Josina Anderson, Jackson is signing with the Eagles. Adam Schefter reports that the deal is for three years and is worth $30 million total ($10M per year).Jackson started his career as a fifth-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos, and he provided an excellent interior pass rush there for four seasons. Once cracking the rotation in 2013, he recorded six Jason Spriggs Jersey White , three, and five-and-a-half sacks in the succeeding three years, and he was a disruptive player as the Broncos won the Super Bowl following the 2015 season.That offseason, Jackson signed a huge contract with the Jaguars, getting six years and $85 million with $31.5 million guaranteed. However, he played just three years under that deal before being released last Friday. In those three seasons with Jacksonville, Jackson did not miss a game, and he recorded 18 sacks with four forced fumbles. He also made a Pro Bowl in 2017, when he had eight sacks.With Jackson suddenly on and now off the Packers’ radar Womens Bryan Bulaga Jersey , look for the team to continue their conversations with Muhammad Wilkerson about a return in 2019. Green Bay has strayed away from extending players at or over the age of 30, and that trend continued this offseason."Shouts of joy and hurrahs filled the air on March 12 when the Green Bay Packers uncharacteristically leaped head-first into free agency. After plenty of years in which the team shied away from acquiring external free agents, the Packers, under second-year GM Brian Gutekunst, created waves within NFL free agency. But even in a more active signing period than usual, Green Bay’s watchful eye over the age of 30, a trait emphasized by Gutekunst’s predecessor Ted Thompson, remained.The Packers signed four significant free agents on the second day of free agency — all between the ages of 25 and 27. This is nothing new, as the Packers have rarely given multiyear deals to position players close to exceeding the age-30 mark — Charles Woodson Womens Aaron Jones Jersey , Julius Peppers, and Tramon Williams are a few rare exceptions. But the Packers’ pickiness with age extends to internal signings as well, and they have been successfully cautious in recent memory. That may bode well with the Packers’ Wednesday decisions to let Clay Matthews and Randall Cobb walk. Morgan Burnett is the latest example of Green Bay’s keen foresight. A free agent last offseason at age 29 and already impacted by nagging injuries, Burnett was not a long-term priority for Green Bay. Instead, the eight-year veteran signed a three-year contract with Pittsburgh. After an injury-laden first season with the Steelers in which he played in only 37% of the team’s defensive snaps, Burnett was reportedly set to be released as of Friday. While the fit in Pittsburgh on a new squad certainly played a role in the versatile Burnett’s short stay, the safety is just one of many key former Packers whom the team allowed to leave before signing a third contract.Here are a few other notable recent cases of the Packers moving on from starters hovering around age 30.Recent Packer starters to leave GB near age 30YearPlayerAge left GBContractLength of stay with new teamYearPlayerAge left GBContractLength of stay with new teamOutside of Lang’s Pro Bowl season in his first year in Detroit, the names on this list underwhelmed once leaving Green Bay and never stayed the full length of their new contracts. Even Sitton and Hawk, whose contracts were terminated prior to their final contract seasons by the Packers Womens Reggie White Jersey , never found a stable home and level of production elsewhere. It is safe to say that the Packer front office judged their impending internal free agents wisely.The question then becomes what Green Bay will do with their rising free agents in Mike Daniels, Bryan Bulaga, and Blake Martinez. As APC’s Wednesday curds pointed out, the Packers’ spending in the 2019 free agency could limit the money available to re-sign these players. But perhaps the biggest factor remains age.Daniels and Bulaga will be ages 31 and 30, respectively, at the end of their deals. With injury concerns to both and rumors last offseason that the Packers were hoping to restructure Bulaga’s contract, it is reasonable to believe that Green Bay will move on from both players based on precedent. Martinez, on the other hand, will be 26 years old and in the prime of his career. Steadily improving each year in the league and at a position in which the Packers have limited depth Womens Davante Adams Jersey , Martinez may be in line for an extension.Green Bay’s decisions this week to let Cobb and Matthews sign elsewhere, particularly Cobb on a Cowboy-friendly one-year, $5 million deal, point to the team’s continued hesitancy with players near the age of 30. And with free agency looming for another pair of long-time contributors like Daniels and Bulaga at the end of the year, it is likely they will be looking for new homes.
