Winfree

Winfree couldn’t crack the Green Bay roster after two years with the Packers. He caught eight of 13 targets for 58 yards in 2021 when pressed into action. Winfree should draw some interest from wideout-needy teams.

Winfree spent 2019 in Denver before landing with the Packers this offseason. He performed well in OTAs but was unable to crack Green Bay’s 53-man roster. The Packers could look to add the 24-year-old to their practice squad if he passes through waivers.

Winfree was one of the few Packers receivers not to skip voluntary workouts. That could help his chances of earning a roster spot this summer. Green Bay is set at the top of its depth chart, with Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, and third-rounder Amari Rodgers all locked into top-four roles. Winfree is competing with Devin Funchess, Equanimeous St. Brown, and Malik Taylor for the No. 5 job.

Winfree was injured all of last year, totaling 14 offensive snaps with Denver. He’s a candidate to revert to the Broncos’ practice squad post waivers.

Winfree played 15 snaps all season and wasn’t targeted.

Von Miller (knee) is officially good to go after a week of limited participation. Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick will continue starting in two-wide sets.

All of these inactives were expected. The Broncos are also missing DE Bradley Chubb, though the Chargers are missing Melvin Ingram and others to even things out.

When everyone’s healthy, the top four receivers are Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton, and Tim Patrick, but there’s little depth beyond that. Winfree doesn’t figure to see many targets as a rookie, however, meaning his value will come on special teams. In college, Winfree (6'1/210) bounced around with injuries piling up, ultimately settling in at Colorado as the No. 2 option.

Not invited to the Combine (6'1/210), Winfree spent his college career on a merry-go-round, beginning at Maryland before suspensions forced him to JUCO. He eventually landed in Boulder, where he sat out in 2016 with a torn ACL. Injuries, including a 2018 high-ankle sprain, limited him to 15 games across 2017-18. Winfree flashed in college but is all projection due to his star-crossed collegiate career.
