Packers: 5 bold targets to pursue at 2021 trade deadline

More than ever before, we’ve seen the Green Bay Packers show they are all in for the 2021 NFL season. They could also make a bold trade at the deadline to reinforce those actions once again.

Every time a big-name player comes up, the Packers have been in on them. They were cornerback Stephon Gilmore’s number one destination if he reached free agency, prompting the Carolina Panthers to trade for him. They also signed guys like Jaylon Smith and Whitney Mercilus even if they’re more name than game at this point in their career.

To triple down on their 2021 Super Bowl season, Green Bay should target one of these five players at this year’s trade deadline (Tuesday, November 2nd).

If the Green Bay Packers want to make a huge splash at this year’s trade deadline, they should pursue these five players.

Kyle Fuller, CB, Denver Broncos

The position the Packers need the most help at is probably cornerback. Who knows when Jaire Alexander will return, Kevin King is battling another injury and is consistent even when healthy, and Rasul Douglas’s future performances are up in the air.

The Broncos are in the opposite position. They are flush with talent and depth at cornerback and could move on from Kyle Fuller. Fuller isn’t what he once was, but he’s still better than Douglas and others on the Packers’ depth chart. Green Bay should pursue him from Denver and dangle good-faith talks for a future Aaron Rodgers’ trade in the process.
