1. Offensive weapon in the passing game

By now, you know the story about the Packers not signing a big-name free agent or even selecting a wide receiver in the 2020 NFL Draft. Will they remedy that issue by trading for somebody at the deadline?

Davante Adams had a career day against the Houston Texans in Week 7, but his fellow wide receivers did absolutely nothing. The return of Allen Lazard will help, but that won’t be enough. Green Bay has to acquire another playmaker in the passing game.

It doesn’t even have to be a wide receiver, they could look at available tight ends considering the lack of production they’ve had at that position as well. If the Packers are serious about contending for a Super Bowl while Aaron Rodgers still has time left, they have to strike now.
