The <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/category/nfl/news/">Green Bay Packers</a> <a href="https://www.packers.com/news/packers-sign-t-andre-dillard">announced</a> a new signing on Thursday with one week to go before the 2024 NFL Draft. Green Bay is adding former first-round pick <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/andre-dillard-4533/">Andre Dillard</a> to the offensive line room after the left tackle spent the 2023 season with the Tennessee Titans. The team announced that he’ll wear No. 73 this season.



Despite his first-round billing, Andre Dillard’s time in Nashville was met with mixed reviews. According to ESPN’s advanced analytics, the former Eagles draft pick <a href="https://twitter.com/RobDemovsky/status/1781054320907084182">allowed 13 sacks</a>, which put him in the bottom 10 of left tackles in the 2023 season. Though he ranked poorly in pass protection, he did rank 11th out of 65 tackles in run block win rate.



Dillard, a sixth-year player out of Washington State, was originally selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 22 overall. The Philadelphia Eagles declined to pick up Dillard’s fifth-year option, leaving him free to sign with a new team for the 2023 season. 



The Titans signed him to a three-year deal for $29 million, then released him after the end of the season. Through his first five seasons in the NFL, Dillard has played in 59 regular-season games with 19 starts. In 2023, he tied his career high with 16 games played and set a career-high with 10 starts. 



In college, Dillard played in 42 games with 39 starts and was a two-time All-Pac-12 selection at Washington State. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-more-on-the-2024-nfl-offseason-free-agency">More on the 2024 NFL offseason, free agency</h2>



The NFL 2024 calendar year began at 4 p.m. ET on March 13. At that time, contracts running through 2023 officially ran out, making those players free agents. Prior to the beginning of free agency, teams will had a chance to designate one franchise or transition tag player, starting on Feb. 20 at 4 p.m. ET and ending on March 5. Beginning March 11 through March 13 teams could enter into a legal negotiation with players who will become unrestricted free agents.



In addition to NFL free agency, the new year also marks the beginning of all trades being made official by the league office. April 19 marks the deadline to sign restricted free agents to offer sheets. On April 24, the deadline for teams to match restricted free agent offers sheets hits. Following the restricted free agent deadline follows the 2024 NFL Draft, which runs from April 25-27.
