The Green Bay Packers fell to the Arizona Cardinals in dramatic fashion in the Divisional Round, but all things considered 2015 was not that bad of a season. Looking ahead, here are five free agents the Packers should pursue this offseason.

Winston has been a backup with the Cincinnati Bengals over the last two seasons, and at 32 years old that might be the best role for him. The Packers could use better depth along their offensive line, particularly at tackle, and Winston would be an inexpensive option.
4. TE Ladarius Green

Green underachieved during his time with the San Diego Chargers, due in part to the continued presence of Antonio Gates. Free agency will give him an opportunity to find a bigger role elsewhere, and the Packers need to upgrade their situation at tight end.
3. LB Chad Greenway

Greenway has spent his entire 10-season career with the rival Minnesota Vikings, and he's slated to become a free agent. If the Vikings don't make an effort to bring him back, which would be a surprise, the Packers should be ready to add Greenway's veteran presence to their linebacker group.
2. WR Rod Streater

Jordy Nelson (assuming a return to full strength) and Randall Cobb are entrenched as Green Bay's top two wide receivers, but adding better depth should be on the radar. Streater had a disappointing last two seasons with the Oakland Raiders, with a foot injury in 2014 and being a healthy inactive on a regular basis this past season, but a 60-catch season in 2013 should not be dismissed.
1. TE Dwayne Allen

Allen expressed frustration with a diminished role for the Indianapolis Colts this year, and injuries have held him back over the last few years. But he is still young (26 on Feb. 24), with the ability to be a productive pass catcher (45 receptions in 2012, eight touchdowns in 2014), so he's just the kind of tight end (and potential free agent bargain) the Packers should be targeting.
