CB Kevin King: The 2017 second-round pick agreed to a one-year deal to return to Green Bay. He is the first unrestricted free agent to re-sign with the Packers since the start of the new league year.
TE Marcedes Lewis: Big Dog is back in Green Bay for a fourth season. He signed a two-year deal to return. A key player for Matt LaFleur, Lewis is the offense's primary inline tight end.
DL Tyler Lancaster: The Packers passed on giving him a restricted tender, but the rotational run-stuffer will be back in Green Bay for 2021.
S Will Redmond: The versatile defensive back and core special teams player is returning on a one-year deal.

The Packers can tender restricted and exclusive rights free agents with one-year deals.
OT Yosh Nijman (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel): The developmental offensive tackle will be back in Green Bay for a third season.
WR Malik Taylor (via Green Bay Press-Gazette): He played in 15 games in 2020, catching five passes for 66 yards and a score as a reserve receiver and special teamer.
OLB Randy Ramsey (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel): He produced 11 tackles, mostly on special teams, over 12 games in 2020.
WR Allen Lazard: He has 68 catches and six touchdowns over the last two seasons. The Packers consider him a starter in Matt LaFleur's offense.
TE Robert Tonyan (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel): The Packers' breakout tight end caught 11 touchdown passes in 2020. He'll be back on the second-round restricted tender.
CB Chandon Sullivan (NFL Network): The Packers' slot cornerback received the right of first refusal tender, worth a little over $2.1 million in 2021.
Signed elsewhere
LB Christian Kirksey (Texans): The former Packers linebacker found a new one-year deal in Houston. The Packers released Kirksey in February.
C Corey Linsley (Chargers): The 2020 All-Pro is headed to Los Angeles to join Bryan Bulaga with the Chargers, per NFL Network.
RB Jamaal Williams (Lions): The energetic running back is staying in the NFC North. He signed a two-year deal with the Lions, according to NFL Network.
QB Tim Boyle (Lions): The team's backup quarterback each of the last two seasons left for a better opportunity in Detroit, where he'll likely be the No. 2 behind Jared Goff. He signed a one-year deal, per NFL Network.
DL Montravius Adams (Patriots): The Patriots signed Adams, the team's third-round pick in 2017, to a one-year deal, per ESPN. He played in 45 games but hardly made an impact.
OL Lane Taylor (Texans): The long-time Packers starting offensive lineman is headed to the Texans after ending each of the last two seasons on injured reserve.
