The Green Bay Packers have signed free agent Andre Dillard to a contract, as announced by the team. With many questions surrounding their offensive line, particularly with left tackle David Bakhtiari becoming a free agent after his release, the Packers have a need to address this position. Currently, they have Rasheed Walker, Kadeem Teifort, Zach Tom, Luke Tenuta, and Caleb Jones at tackle on their roster.
Dillard’s most starts in a single season came in 2023 when he started 10 games at left tackle for the Titans. He played a career-high 562 offensive snaps last season and has primarily played left tackle throughout his career but also has experience at right tackle. Dillard’s addition will likely bring more competition to the left tackle position as the Packers continue to search for ways to improve their offensive line.
In addition to signing Dillard, the Packers may also look to draft multiple linemen next week to further strengthen their offensive line. With many question marks surrounding their offensive line and David Bakhtiari becoming a free agent, the Packers are taking proactive steps to address this critical position.
