Billy Turner heads to Green Bay
Billy Turner is going from protecting Case Keenum to protecting Aaron Rodgers.
Packers are giving former Broncos' OL Billy Turner a four-year, $28 million deal with a max value of $29.5, including $11 million in year one, per source.

The former third-round pick of the Miami Dolphins turned into a very reliable backup lineman for the Broncos.
Denver re-signed Turner last offseason for one year, $2 million, and he made the most of that opportunity by starting 11 games for the Broncos this season as their primary swing guy, playing right tackle and left guard.
Turner really did a great job in both spots, allowing just three sacks all year. He was cut in Miami after allowing three sacks in a game.
For the Packers, this is a hefty investment. They gave Turner $7 million/year which is pretty standard starting right tackle money. They could start him there or at right guard.
This is a great deal for Turner.
