Packers: Ranking top five trade targets ahead of 2020 deadline
4. John Ross, wide receiver
Cincinnati Bengals’ wide receiver John Ross has made it known he wants out and has requested a trade. That much is certain. The former top ten pick doesn’t feel as if he’s been given a fair shake with the Bengals and is sick of standing on the sidelines.
The Packers could easily swoop in and offer a mid to late round pick for Ross’s services considering his disgruntled status. And the Bengals should be happy to accept even that in any trade.
Ross would give the Packers a more consistent speedster on the outside than the current roller coaster that is Marquez Valdes-Scantling. It was just last year when Ross averaged 18.1 yards per reception so we know the potential is there. If the Packers were to acquire Ross, he’d quickly become their no. 3 receiver behind Davante Adams and Allen Lazard.
