The Green Bay Packers figure to be active once again in free agency.  2024 proved to be an incredible off-season for free agent moves as Xavier McKinney and Josh Jacobs both had major impacts on the team.

There is another free agent who could make a big difference for Green Bay in 2025 who is absolutely ready to get back on the field.

Free agent Charvarius Ward had this to say while getting ready for 2025:

 Whatever team I’m on next year gone get the best version of ME. I’m HUNGRY.

The 49ers consider Charvarius Ward one of their most valuable pending free agents this offseason. The past couple of years have been tough for him in California, and he seems to be in need of a fresh start.

The Packers’ defense would benefit greatly from Ward’s arrival.

He entered 2024 after an All-Pro season and a Pro Bowl selection in 2023. Despite the fact that 2024 wasn’t an ideal year for him, he is still only 28 years old and has much more to offer when he faces opposing wide receivers.  Here is a look at Ward’s career stats:
