The 2014 Green Bay Packers are history. Despite all of the regular season blowout wins, the balanced offense, the improving defense, and the legitimate hope of a trip to Arizona to play the Patriots for the Super Bowl, last season will always be remembered for what could have been. The sting of the last 3:52 of that game in Seattle may have dulled some over the last month, but the truth is that Packer nation will now cringe every time they hear 3:52 in the same way as 4th and 26.
But the good news is that 2014 is over. That team is history, and it's time to turn the page. That means it's time for the general management and front office to put together a new team for 2015. It's a reality in the salary cap era that each year is brand new, and like all other NFL teams, the Packers have some big decisions to make. Below is the "agenda" for the formation of the 2015 Packers, and a few things to look forward to during the offseason. Each item on the agenda will be accompanied by its own blog post.
1. Free agency -- Re-signing players
- Make decsions on Randall Cobb and Bryan Bulaga, and several other Packers hitting unrestricted free agency
2. Free agency -- Shopping for new players
- Look for valuable "patch" players who can come in and do a good job while the Packers develop their replacements.
3. NFL Draft
4. Sign undrafted free agents
5. OTAs/Training Camp/Pre-season
