Free agent defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois‘ next meeting will be with the Packers, as Jean-Francois himself tweets. The visit will take place on Wednesday, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter link).
Jean-Francois, 30, played in 32 games (eight starts) with the Redskins over the past two seasons. Last year, he saw action on roughly 40% of the club’s defensive snaps, racking up 32 tackles and 1.5 sacks in that span.
The Packers have expressed interest in Jean-Francois in the past, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (Twitter link). RJF would help Green Bay account for the loss of Datone Jones, who signed with the division rival Vikings, and Letroy Guion, who is suspended for the first four games of the 2017 campaign.
Jean-Francois ranks as PFR’s No. 5 free agent interior defender still on the board. Since being released by Washington, Jean-Francois has visited the Seahawks and Bears.
Wouldn’t hurt to add him we have plenty of cap space but where are the LB AND CB.
CB will be addressed in the draft with probably two being taken in the first two days. As for LB, OLB is a bigger issue than ILB. The former will likely be drafted in the 1st or 2nd round while ILB might still be addressed via free agency or later in the draft.
A must add for Guion pending release. Cobb and Clay are way over paid expect draft replacement early in draft.
As for CB look at depth charts must be 12 now plus the draft and a trade back…add in udfa’s. Packers have 60 on team and go to 93 come July…relax.
