Packers must avoid repeating Bears' mistake with Pro Bowl free agent

The Green Bay Packers have a need at linebacker, though it's not as pressing as at cornerback or the offensive line. Still, Quay Walker's likely departure would leave a hole in the middle of the defense, one that Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie might not be able to cover by themselves. They could address their needs via the draft, which promises a deep linebacker class, but they could also dabble in free agency.

Following his release by the Chicago Bears, Tremaine Edmunds is one name immediately available, and he might seem like someone the Packers should monitor. He is an established producer, after all, a two-time Pro Bowler.
