Green Bay Packers: Ranking the 5 best moves of the 2019 offseason

1. Signing S Adrian Amos

As previously mentioned when discussing Darnell Savage Jr., the Packers’ biggest hole on defense in 2018 was at safety. Signing free agent safety Adrian Amos to a four-year, $37 million deal was one of the best decisions the Packers made this offseason.

Pro Football Focus’ Mike Renner labeled the Packers’ signing of Amos the “best value” of free agency. Amos has been one of the NFL’s most consistent safeties over the past three seasons, which makes this signing make even more sense. Arguably the most inconsistent position on Green Bay’s defense over the past five years has been at safety — and yes, that includes when Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was on the team.

Even more impressive is the fact that Amos has the ability to line up at either free safety or strong safety. In fact, he lined up at free safety on 62.5 percent of his snaps last season with the Chicago Bears. Amos figures to play the majority of his snaps at strong safety for Green Bay, but the flexibility to play either position is welcomed.

The Packers should have one of the NFL’s most improved defenses in 2019, and Amos should be a huge reason why. After starting names like Kentrell Brice, Josh Jones, Ibraheim Campbell and converted cornerback Tramon Williams at safety last season, Amos should be a huge breath of fresh air.
