Green Bay Packers: 15 early trade deadline candidates

We all know the Green Bay Packers have moved their chips to the middle of the table and are all in on a Super Bowl for the 2021 NFL season. So why not double down on that bet and acquire a big talent at the trade deadline?

Although that’s easy for me to say in my mom’s basement (joking), there are a plethora of potentially available trade candidates that Green Bay could look into to push them over the top. Despite being 4-1 and at the top of the NFC North, they are dealing with a number of long-term injuries to their key guys (especially on defense) as well as sloppy play.

There seem to be a high number of players reportedly available for trade this season. Let’s break them into different categories of likelihood and look into some of these early trade deadline candidates.

If the Green Bay Packers truly want to win a Super Bowl this year, they should look at any of these 15 early trade deadline candidates.

Packers early trade deadline candidates: Wide receivers that cost a pretty penny

Allen Robinson, WR, Chicago

Michael Thomas, WR, New Orleans

Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Cleveland

Besides Davante Adams, Green Bay has received very few contributions at wide receiver. Adams leads the way with a team-high 61 targets and 42 receptions. Next on the list at the position? Randall Cobb with 14 targets and 11 receptions. That ish may fly in the regular season, but teams will scheme to take Adams out of the game come playoff time. The Packers could benefit from any of the three big-name wide receivers above–the only issue is how will they afford them?
