Green Bay Packers: The former starter for 21 games is still a free agent.

Former Green Bay Packers starter Rudy Ford remains unsigned as a free agent, giving the team more time to negotiate with this key contributor from the previous season. Ford, a 6’0″, 200-pound safety drafted in the 6th round by the Arizona Cardinals, stepped into a starting role for the Packers in 2023, showcasing his value with nearly 70 PFF grade for the season and leading the team in interceptions. While Ford had moments of struggle in run support, his coverage skills were impressive, boasting a 30.1 passer rating allowed in coverage, ranking him first among safeties. With the recent signing of Xavier McKinney, the Packers could benefit from Ford taking on a reduced role, ensuring his presence in critical situations on the field. The team’s safety depth is currently limited, making Ford’s potential return even more significant.
