Packers: Three potential trade targets in 2019 season
Which three players could the Green Bay Packers trade for before the deadline in October?
The NFL trade deadline is four weeks away. Before then, teams contending for the playoffs may look to improve their roster, while teams focused on the future may be willing to give up talent in return for draft picks to help them in the rebuilding process. Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst might not make a trade in the next month, but we know he’ll be more than happy to if the opportunity is there.
After four weeks, the Packers have made good on their offseason work, starting 3-1 and sitting in first place of the NFC North. They are in win-now mode, which was evident by their aggressiveness in free agency back in the spring. Could Gutekunst look to bring in another player or two before the trade deadline?
We’ve seen the Packers’ strengths over the opening four weeks, primarily the pass rush and secondary. Run defense has been the main concern, and the offense has been inconsistent. In some cases, more reps and coaching will lead to improvements. But other times, making a trade can make a huge difference.
Ahead of the deadline later this month, here’s a look at three players the Packers should consider making an offer for.
