Will the Packers trade Jaire Alexander?

This was a fan question posted in a recent The Athletic article with Matt Schneidman. In that scenario, the reader proposes Green bay trade Alexander straight up for someone like Deebo Samuel. It’s safe to say the Packers won’t dangle their young, stud cornerback in any deal like that.

Will the Packers keep Jordan Love?

With Aaron Rodgers signing a contract extension for the foreseeable future, we turn our attention toward Jordan Love and his timeline with the Packers. Green Bay could try to trade him to recoup some draft capital and use those extra picks to bolster other aspects of the team. They probably won’t be able to get the late first-round pick they used on him, but he could still command a Day Two pick if they’re lucky.

Will they trade draft capital for a proven offensive weapon?

The more likely move the Packers make is to trade their draft capital for a veteran. They have two firsts, two seconds, one third and two fourths that they could move in a deal. Would they give up one or both of the picks they got from the Raiders for Davante Adams in order to get another stud receiver? They’re hurting in the worst way at the wide receiver position (more on that later) and desperately need a proven player.
