2. Shaquil Barrett, outside linebacker, Denver Broncos

The Broncos are downright loaded at outside linebacker evidenced by the second straight Denver player on this list. And with the Broncos’ 2018 season quickly going down the drain, why not hold a fire sale?

Barrett has the opposite pedigree as Ray given that he was an undrafted free agent. However, the 26-year-old has been a bit more productive in the last year and a half than Ray. Barrett sacked the quarterback four times last year and twice this season. Even though it may not seem like a lot, it’s still better production than what the Packers are getting at the present time.

None of these players, except for this next one, are huge game-changers for the Packers, but those types of guys are extremely difficult to come by at any point in the season, nonetheless at the trade deadline. Regardless, it’s important to remember the Packers aren’t necessarily aiming to be a finished product this season. Instead, they are aiming for the next year or beyond.
