There are a handful of Greem Bay Packers players who must step-up in 2015. For five veteran players it means entering training camp with a make-or-break situation facing each of them.
If Barrington falls apart, the Packers could be scrambling to keep a defense together that is just a few pieces away from being solid enough to win a championship.
The smart money is on the Packers extending offers to their most coveted free agents prior to the end of the upcoming season. But who has earned an early extension?
The one player that the Green Bay Packers can least afford to lose to injury, who is not named Aaron Rodgers, is third year pro David Bakhtiari. There is just no suitable replacement for him on the current roster without a major shuffle of personnel.
Rodgers has the ability to be someone who is between just being a check down safety valve and a elite pass catching option, which is perfect for this Packers offense.
The more intriguing aspect of Packers Training Camp 2015 might be the five possible roster spot battles described below. Each potential battle features at least one veteran player who could be facing the ax at the final roster cut-down.
The Packers will work with the $143.28 million salary cap for this NFL season. Where each team separates themselves is how they are setup to use their cap.
Tucker Kraft and Micah Parsons were voted Top 10 at their positions by scouts and executives. Quarterback Jordan Love was not among the top 10 quarterbacks.
