The Green Bay Packers are one of the most fascinating teams entering the 2024 season. The youthful Packers went 7-3 in their remaining ten games of the 2023 season, including a decisive playoff victory against the Dallas Cowboys.
Having saying that, it’s impossible to find a more exciting team than the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have a chance to become the third club in history to win three championships in a row (the Packers accomplished it in 1929-31 and 1965-67).
However, one free agent elected to team up with Jordan Love rather than Patrick Mahomes for the 2024 season.
The Green Bay Packers sign a free agent over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Earlier this week, the Packers announced the signing of free agent Andre Dillard.
The dismissal of left tackle David Bakhtiari has created some doubt on the Packers’ offensive line. Rasheed Walker, Kadeem Teifort, Zach Tom, Luke Tenuta, and Caleb Jones are the team’s tackles, therefore Dillard will most likely contend for a starting spot.
Furthermore, the Packers may still draft a bunch of lineman next week, and they most likely will.
Dillard has primarily played left tackle during his career, although he also has experience at right tackle. Throughout his career, he has appeared in 59 games with 19 starts, including 10 games at left tackle for the Titans in 2023, a career high.
However, it was revealed after the deal that Dillard had only recently visited the Kansas City Chiefs. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler
The Packers have signed offensive tackle Andre Dillard. The former first-round pick spent last season with the Titans.
According to a source, Dillard visited the Chiefs as a free agent before signing with Green Bay. Kansas City requires tackle help, which it may find in the draft.
Jordan Love and Patrick Mahomes Will Be Exciting to Watch in 2024.
Obviously, Patrick Mahomes will be one of the most interesting quarterbacks to watch in the NFL for the foreseeable future. Packers fans are hopeful that Jordan Love will fall into the same group one day.
Zach Kruse of PackersWire analyzed Love’s stats from his first full season as a starter:
In any case, having a free agent choose your team over the reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions speaks much about the franchise’s trajectory.
