JOYOUS NEWS: The Green Bay Packers are expected to get a 24-year-old electric playmaker from the Baltimore Ravens.

This season, the Green Bay Packers have certainly exceeded expectations. Jordan Love’s first year as a starting quarterback has resulted in a winning record and a playoff berth for the Packers, as well as a blowout of the NFC’s #2 overall seed.

Saturday, the Packers will travel to Santa Clara to face the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs. Ahead of that game, sources suggest that the Packers may be in line to sign a young playmaker for their defense.

The Green Bay Packers Pegged To Land 24-Year-Old Safety Geno Stone

Gordon McGuinness of Pro Football Focus analyzed Stone’s possible move to Lambeau Field:

Green Bay Packers: S. Geno Stone
If Darnell Savage leaves in free agency, the Packers will require safety assistance. Despite seven interceptions in 2023, Stone is unlikely to cost a fortune as a free agent signing. He is not a terrific run defender, but he has received PFF coverage grades of at least 73.0 in each of the last two seasons and shown his ball-hawking abilities this year.

The Packers will be looking for a realistically priced young safety who can come in and make plays for the secondary this offseason.

It has been a remarkable fourth season for Stone with the Ravens. He is quickly making a name for himself on Baltimore’s defense as a former seventh-round pick.

“Stone has six interceptions this season, the second most in the league, and he makes a lot of plays because of his alignment/assignment discipline in the secondary,” ESPN writes. “He gets to his landmark, identifies the concept and plays within the structure of the defense.”

Stone’s contract will expire at the end of the year and the Packers could certainly swoop in and sign the young playmaker.
