The bright side of having such a young team is that the Green Bay Packers will be able to keep almost their entire offensive roster together in 2024. As most of the pass-catchers played their first or second seasons, they still are under inexpensive rookie deals.
However, that’s not exactly true for the offensive line. A starter and an important backup (and former starter) are slated to be unrestricted free agents: right guard Jon Runyan and swing tackle Yosh Nijman.

Jon Runyan
Runyan had his worst season since he became a starter in Green Bay in 2021, with a 54.7 PFF grade. He is still a useful piece, but the coaching staff started to rotate right guards in the middle of the season, with similar results from Runyan and second-year player Sean Rhyan.
In 2021, Runyan started at left guard because Elgton Jenkins had been moved to left tackle with David Bakhtiari’s absence. In 2022, he split snaps on the right and left. And in 2023, he spent the entire season as a right guard. Maybe that’s a problem, since he plays better on the left, but Jenkins is well established there.
