Don't put new Green Bay Packers safety Xavier McKinney in a box ... put him everywhere

- The Green Bay Packers didn't sign Xavier McKinney for him to only play one spot. The whole point of signing him (and hiring Jeff Hafley) was to use players like him all over the field. Plus, would Brian Gutekunst really move on from Kenny Clark?

This being uploaded RIGHT at the start of my office hours is PERFECT! Please keep this schedule, I love starting my day with Packers content everyday!
Gotta check out the pack a day podcast too. He uploads at like 5AM central time every day
These guys best takes are when they have other “podcasters “ on the show
We need playmakers in the secondary, hopefully getting McKinney via FA & Bullard in the draft is a step in the right direction.
I’ve been hearing good things about Bullard 👍
This is going to be a awesome defense and yes we are going to pay them for a championship Hafley is going to be the best DC we have had in a long time
Hafley decides how McKinney will be employed. Issue solved.
The Green Bay Packers were aggressive in addressing their needs on their roster this 2024 offseason. During free agency, they made multiple splash signings, including our safety Xavier McKinney. A 2nd-round 2020 NFL Draft pick by the New York Giants, Xavier McKinney cashed in this offseason as a free agent. Xavier McKinney has been a position of need for the Green Bay Packers in recent seasons and his addition will help turn things around for the Green Bay Packers defensively. In the opinion of David Kenyon of Bleacher Report, signing Xavier McKinney was one of the best moves of the 2024 NFL offseason. David Kenyon ranked the move #13 on his top 25 list. While a potential-filled, young offense aims to develop around Jordan Love, the Green Bay Packers rebuilt the back end of the defense. They embraced a youth movement at safety that is focused on Xavier McKinney, who racked up 116 tackles last season and turns 26 in August. His 4-year contract has a pricey $67 million sticker, yet only $23 million is guaranteed. Xavier McKinney was one of those players brought in this offseason by the team at the position. During the 2024 NFL draft, the Green Bay Packers also selected Javon Bullard, Evan Williams, and Kitan Oladapo. That quartet will join Anthony Johnson Jr., a 7th-round 2023 NFL draft pick by the Packers who could be the only holdover from last season’s team. Despite his youth, Xavier McKinney is the elder statesman of this group, someone the younger players rely on heavily as they adapt to life as professionals. Heading into the 2024 NFL season, Xavier McKinney is a big part of the plans the Green Bay Packers have defensively. He is coming off of a monster season with the New York Giants, where he displayed incredible durability by playing every defensive snap during the 2023-24 NFL season. The Packers, who have sometimes been hit hard with injuries at key positions, hope that will carry over to 2024 and beyond. A versatile player who can fill several roles in our secondary, Xavier McKinney provides a huge upgrade for the team to rely on at what has been an area of weakness. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
There isn’t ONE QB IN HISTORY that is ALWAYS AMAZING under heavy pressure!!! That’s just the nature of the position!!!
I think Bullard is another guy who can play slot as well and kitan reminds me of the old school safeties!!! BIG HITTER!! Will make every pass catcher over the middle NERVOUS af cause they KNOW he’s coming!! LOVE that pick in round 5!
We just watched the 49ers let there best interior DL walk, I want him back but the way the Packers operate he's gone..
Packers can put the franchise tag on Kenny Clark next year so they can have him for one more year and then let him walk.
Pay Kenny Clark. The Packers will get 5 years of top DT performance. Spread out the cap hit and maybe load it heavy early on the cap if possible to allow for big contracts for others later. There is no sure way to replace a top-3 talent.
I'm ready for the season to start
I think it would be a mistake moving on from Clark for many reasons. We finally get Kenny some help and now get rid of him?
I honestly think Jordan Love wants to be the top paid QB...
Most of Loves gaffs were to Watson
He will be used as the coaching staff wants him to be used
Jaire has the X... X has everything else..!
Go pack!!
Cover 3 lives now only on Madden online.
Maybe we can trade kenny
X won’t never that good💀 probably at tackling
You have an NBA username and can’t speak proper English… if you think McKinney isn’t good, you don’t watch football my guy
