Who might the Packers traded away this off-season? The most likely answer is "no one," but I've been thinking about who is most probable out of an improbable bunch.
1. Romeo Doubs: Over the next two seasons, the top four WR's on the Packers' roster will hit free agency. They certainly won't extend all of them (nor should they) and they might even look to move a guy early in order to recoup some value, especially if they plan to add at WR. Doubs would be the likeliest candidate for a few reasons. 1- he's entering a contract season and the other guy in that boat is hurt. 2- there were clearly some problems in 2024 that make extension very unlikely. 3- he has been solidly productive, with 43 yds/game and 0.4 TD/game over the past two seasons, which extrapolates to a 700/7 season. At 24, it's not difficult to see a team valuing him as a WR2 or WR3 and perhaps they would trade a conditional mid round pick that can become a day 2 selection based on certain incentives.
2. Malik Willis: Willis is only 25 years old (many rookies are 25 any more) and he showed a lot of progress in 2024. He's entering a contract season and I can imagine a team with a QB problem and no obvious solution (e.g. the Steelers who pick too low) acquiring Willis as part of a plan to take multiple dips at the position this off-season. I wouldn't part with him for anything less than a day 2 pick, given the value of backup QB's.
3. Kingsley Enagbare: Enagbare is entering a contract year and has probably fallen behind Cox in terms of effectiveness. If they Packers add a DE in free agency or in the draft, they would have five guys who deserve some degree of playing time. That's a level of depth that they could choose to trade from if they return is right.
4. Rasheed Walker: This move would be contingent on an internal view that Morgan is best off playing left tackle. I have no idea if the FO sees Morgan that way, but if that's the plan then it's somewhat feasible that they would move Walker a year before he hits free agency. Walker is a viable starter at tackle without being an upper echelon guy. I would want at least a 4th for him.
5. Sean Rhyan: If the Packers see Morgan as a guard, not a tackle, then it could be Rhyan that they look to move a year early.
