Didn't we re-sign Dillon?
Back during his Draft year, he was a popular mock to the PackersAndre Dillard OT signed. Former first round selection who didn't pan out for the Eagles but saw some solid starts last year in Tenn.

As with any signing, if it was at a good price, it might be a really good signing for the Packers and their OL depth. Dillard was a 1st round pick (#22) back in 2019. He has started 19 games, so definitely a guy with a lot of experience.Andre Dillard OT signed.

Again it's Gute freeing up options for the draft. If a couple of highly ranked OL guys drop to the right spots we can take them anyway and this guy fights for a roster spot or if another player Gute covets drops he won't feel pressured to skip him for more OL depth. Not that I think he would feel pressured to do that but this is just more insurance.As with any signing, if it was at a good price, it might be a really good signing for the Packers and their OL depth.

While I doubt that Gute is viewing Dillard as a starter, he has played G and T on both sides, so his signing takes some pressure off the depth "issue" on the OL. Was kind of surprised to see the Titans cut him lose, it was just last year that they gave him a 3 year $29M deal, but he did have a pretty poor 2023. Hoping new coaching and a new team will rejuvenate him.
