The Packers made a splash early in free agency by signing Aaron Banks, who is expected to start at left guard, and Nate Hobbs, one of three expected starters at cornerback. Veterans Mecole Hardman, Isaiah Simmons and Kristian Welch could play specific roles, especially on special teams.

The Packers locked down right tackle Zach Tom with a four-year, $88 million extension two days before the start of training camp.
