Green Bay Packers: ESPN Finds Trade Partner for Josh Jackson

Field Yates of ESPN proposes a trade that sends Green Bay Packers Josh Jackson to the Denver Broncos for Isaac Yiadom. But does it make much sense for the ...

Looks like a little churning of the bottom of the depth chart, don't think he sticks past game 3 but probably spells the end for Jackson.

Things that make you go hmmm.

Mocked him several times to us years ago in the 5th or 6th. Nice to see Gute finally listen to me.

Josh Jackson was horrific Saturday night. I thought he might be one of the first five cuts.

 

[PackAttack12]

It's a Jackson for Yiadom swap.

Count. Me. In.

Way better than cutting him.

Stunned they got anything for Jackson. Good job!

If there was ever an indicator that the gm knows what he is doing, this is case in point. The GM of this org is not the problem.

He was on the cut list for sure. Seemed every single completion was to his side of the field. I'm glad they got something for him and a guy with some experience. What a bust Jackson has been.

I actually didn't think there was a problem. Back to back NFC Championship games don't happen by accident.

Isaac Yankem? Isn't he wrestling as Kane now, or serving as mayor of Knox County, Tennessee?

 

[Dantés]

Both fan bases right now:

“They were going to cut him regardless so it’s better to get something for him.”

But either guy could still be easily released.

If Yiadom can play well on teams, that could be the difference.

 

[rmontro]

Wait, the Broncos? Are we sure we didn't trade Rodgers for him?

GM 1: "I don't want to cut this guy and look like an idiot"
GM 2: "Well I don't want to cut this guy and look like an idiot"
GM 1: "How about we trade them to each other, we can cut them and not look like idiots?"
GM 2: "Done!"

Good point about the ST's. I didn't figure Jackson would hang around this year but you never know. Seems intriguing though that the Giants would trade a 10 game starter for Jackson.

Certainly would be a plus if he can play well on special teams. But it doesn't sound like he would be much good if we had to go to him to play corner. Still, maybe we will pick someone else up and in the meantime look at the guy.

He was a crappy 10 game starter.

I don't know how good this guy they got is, but I've heard he's not bad on special teams. Josh Jackson was a non-contributor on ST, and the Pack need all the help they can get in the department.

Sounds like a win for Green bay, although I would not be surprised is either player does not make the final 53.

Sounds about right which doesn't surprise me. As another poster said, seems like just a swap of bottom roster dwellers.

 

[Poppa San]

If he makes the team, saves about 400k cap hit.

The Packers acquired Yiadom from the Giants.

According to Pro Football Reference Yiadom allowed a passer rating of 120.1 with the Giants last season.

That's nost likely the reason the were ready to move on from him.

Yikes. Thanks for the info!

It sounds like each time Yiadom was the starter, the following off-season he was already on the watch list to be cut because his play was that bad. I don't mind the GM's kicking the tires here, but in Yiadom's case he has already failed with two teams. At least Jackson has the chance to go to another team to see if a different situation/scheme/coach can bring out his talent. He also has the possibility of still switching to safety. Yiadom is a penny backup CB at best with maybe a ST contribution as you've all noted above.

Trading one guy he's gonna cut for a guy the other gm is gonna cut?

Great points and my thoughts as well. I guess there is nothing much lost with this trade. Maybe, just maybe, the change of scenery does them both good but the odds are long.
