The Green Bay Packers were expected to have an eventful offseason, given their cap space. First, left tackle David Bakhtiari restructured his contract, freeing up over $8 million for the team. On Friday, the team announced they would be cutting linebacker Christian Kirksey and offensive tackle Rick Wagner after both were with the team for one season.

He certainly helped out his asking price this offseason. These are the three most likely free agent destinations for Corey Davis.
