UNDATED (AP) — After missing the playoffs in back-to-back years, the Green Bay Packers are spending big in free agency to try to get back the postseason. The Packers agreed to $183 million worth of contracts Tuesday with edge rusher Za’Darius Smith, linebacker Preston Smith, safety Adrian Amos and offensive lineman Billy Turner. The Packers hope the signings improve a defense that ranked 18th in the NFL in 2018 and add some more protection for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Za’Darius Smith is getting the biggest deal: $66 million over four years with $34.5 million in the first two years, according to his agency, SportsTrust Advisors.
