As the Green Bay Packers approach the 2025 off-season, the team finds itself in a position where roster fine-tuning, rather than a complete rebuild, will be the focus. After parting ways with legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers just two seasons ago, the Packers are in a much better place now, with a younger roster and a more promising future. This shift from a major rebuild to strategic adjustments marks a significant step forward for the franchise. One area where these improvements may come is in their secondary, particularly at the cornerback position.

According to reports from Justis Mosqueda of SB Nation, the Packers could be eyeing cornerbacks Asante Samuel Jr. and Byron Murphy Jr. for the 2025 season, both of whom have the potential to bolster Green Bay’s defense. Samuel, who played for the Los Angeles Chargers, has a history with Packers’ defensive passing coordinator Derrick Ansley. Samuel started 47 games for the Chargers before a season-ending injury in 2024, but his previous experience with Ansley could make him a natural fit in Green Bay’s system. The Packers showed interest in Samuel in 2021, and with his injury setback now behind him, he could be a valuable addition in the coming season.

On the other hand, Byron Murphy Jr., who is finishing out a two-year, $17.5 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings, is another intriguing option for Green Bay. Despite being just 26 years old, Murphy has already established himself as one of the league’s top cornerbacks. In 2024, Murphy was selected to his first Pro Bowl after recording six interceptions and proving to be a playmaker in Minnesota’s defense. The Packers coaching staff has previously praised Murphy, particularly after divisional matchups against the Vikings, which could indicate a level of respect and interest in the player.

The Packers have always been keen on making strategic moves to strengthen their roster, particularly when it comes to free agency and trades. With both Samuel and Murphy offering strong defensive credentials, it’s possible that Green Bay could look to bring in one of these cornerbacks as part of their roster refinement process. As they continue to build around young talent like quarterback Jordan Love and running back Aaron Jones, acquiring a proven cornerback would only further solidify the Packers’ defense heading into 2025.

As the off-season approaches, it will be interesting to see if Green Bay takes advantage of these opportunities and makes a move to improve their defense. If they can successfully add one of these cornerbacks, it could be a major step toward returning to playoff contention in 2025.
