1. Packers trade No. 14, No. 101, 2019 first and Quinten Rollins to Cardinals for Patrick Peterson.

The Packers send their first-round pick this year, their fourth-round pick and a 2019 first along with cornerback Quinten Rollins to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson.

This would be an absolute game-changer for the Packers and something that would get Green Bay fans buzzing again.

It may seem like a lot to give up, but that’s what you do for one of the best players in the game. Especially given he’s right in the middle of his prime (27-years-old) and has three full years remaining on his contract.

With Carson Palmer retired, the Cardinals are probably in rebuild mode and looking to start from scratch. Acquiring two first round picks and a younger player allows them to get a head start.

Peterson gives the Packers the dynamic playmaker they’ve been missing since Charles Woodson and can completely change the game for them. Rodgers is getting up there in age and if you have a chance to acquire a stud in Peterson, you take that chance.
