[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 960774, member: 6578"] Still time for moves and such but let's look at precisely what has occurred roster wise since the closing of the 2021 season here in Green Bay. The craziness of the "returning" number of starters or contributors is incredible really on the defensive side of the ball - and who knows if King signs back it could be even more...but as we stand today typing this (5/23/2022) of our top 25 defensive snap count guys we are returning 17 of them, and 13 of our top 14 from 2021 (Sullivan the only top 14 that isn't back).
