Trade Deadline Targets

[GreenNGold_81]

The Packers don't need to add another running back.

Obviously.

Gibson is a mix between an RB and WR. There is also a difference between need, luxury, and insurance. This is Jones's last year with the team, IMO. We have nobody to play KR/PR that's even half decent. It wouldn't be a bad idea if he's up for trade, but it appears he's not when you read Rivera's latest comments.

T minus 72 Hours and counting

Another option would be a 1/2 rental on TE Mike Gesicki. I could see a situation where we traded a player for his services. Miami has mentioned they are in a reserved “listen” mode. But they might be expecting a player swap and our depth is suspect at most positions

Also I still think just getting another Veteran in the event we can’t land a true WR1 or WR2 type
Jeudy would be a totally doable deal prorated off $3.8M annual and he’s under his Rookie contract through the 2023 season. While he’s not my first choice, he’s worthy of kicking the tires on because he’s a savvy veteran and has some big play ability. He’s also a player at a position that has major ?? for next season. Lazard and Watkins are both FA after this season and Cobb is probably in the final year of his career in 2023.

Cobb's probably in the final year of his career now. Jeudy would probably cost at least a 2nd rounder and a later-round pick, IMO that's worth it for a player of his calibre and draft pedigree.

Gibson doesn't present an upgrade as a pass catcher over Jones and Dillon. I'm not sure about his ability as a returner as he has a total of only four kickoff returns and not a single punt return at the pro level.

Therefore I don't believe it would be smart to trade for him.

The Packers should try to upgrade the roster for the remainder of this season at the trade deadline. There's enough time to worry about next year once the season is over.

Another option would be a 1/2 rental on TE Mike Gesicki. I could see a situation where we traded a player for his services.

Gesicki would count a total of nearly $5.8 million against the cap for the rest of the season. While he would most likely become the best receiving tight end on the roster immediately I don't think he would improve the team that much to be worth that kind of investment.

Also I still think just getting another Veteran in the event we can’t land a true WR1 or WR2 type
Jeudy would be a totally doable deal prorated off $3.8M annual and he’s under his Rookie contract through the 2023 season.

Jeudy would only count $1.05 million against the Packers' cap for this season (and another $2.7 million in 2023) if acquired before the deadline next week.

It might be a smart move trading for him although I'm quite sure the Broncos would ask for a decent amount of draft picks in return.

 

[Mondio]

I'm not for trading for someone just to trade. I don't think Gibson offers much to improve this team at all. yeah, maybe he can do something, but I'm not taking Jones or Dillon off the field to do it. He's not a WR.

Gibson is a faster Tyler Ervin who played WR in college. He would definitely be an upgrade on pass-catching ability over Dillon AND Jones. Also, Rivera said that because Brian Robinson won the RB role in camp (as the more traditional RB) that Gibson would work more returning kicks on special teams. Then Brian got shot and Gibson was thrust back into the starting role, and seems to still have more of a role than they expected because he's played well.

 

[GreenNGold_81]

Jeudy is probably off the market now, looks like he's balling out in London. They'll want to keep Wilson surrounded with talent. Guess we'll see. But he'll be pricey.

 

[rodell330]

Packers seem to be more interested in adding their “upgrades” from practice squads. It’s hard to believe that we find ourselves sitting below 500. And really nothing has been done. This is just a glimpse of things to come once Rodgers retires. Lol NFC North cellar here we come

 

[GreenNGold_81]

I think it's down to Claypool, Brandin Cooks, or one of the Moore's now (Eli or DJ). No move seems likely to me.

 

[AKCheese]

Might as well keep our draft picks for the rebuild. We’re screwed with the beautiful mystery man. Coulda had some nice draft capital but instead …

Jerry Jeudy seems to be the best option

Yeah. You lose 2.5 years of rookie contract, but keep your cap in line generally 1 year is lost to learning curve anyway with a 2nd rounder

. Flip side you have a good idea of what you are getting and if Lazard (next FA) has a bidding war? You can just cut bait. You’d have Jeudy, Doubs, Watson, maybe Cobb.

Well. Today Davante Adams had 1 catch for 3 yards and he is playing for a 2-6 team. The Lions found another way to blow one today. If the Packers get crushed tonight is there a possibility that Detroit is favored next week?

Also, a good receiver is the best help for a young QB and I guarantee that Gute really, really, really, REALLY wants Love to look good when he finally gets on the field.

 

[thequick12]

Is Love gonna get on the field in Green Bay?

Id bet Rodgers plays next season

 

[OldSchool101]

Obviously he wants Love to succeed. I’m not yet fully convinced that lineup would make any Young QB look good though. It’s bare bones minimum until we something from a Christian.

Hoping we send him on a few Go routes tonight. Roll out and chuck it 40 yards. No one can keep up with him if he gets past his guy. Christian at 95% runs a 4.45 in pads

 

[kevans74]

I was a big supporter of Christian and I hope he turns it around as he has some bad luck with injuries but we are half way through his rookie season and he hasn't really done anything yet

Doubs I feel is trending upward and Toure should get more reps after tonight.

I think a trade for Jeudy would be ideal bc Doubs isn't really a "speed" guy but he makes plays and until Christian can stay healthy and produce he is still a question mark honestly

Jeudy, Watson, Doubs, Toure, Cobb is formidable

You're right about Gibson mostly lining up at wide receiver in college, I wasn't aware of that. Nevertheless I don't consider him an upgrade as a pass catcher over anyone currently on the roster at this point in his career though. In addition he has never returned a punt as far as I can tell, most likely not presenting an improvement in that area either.

Obviously he wants Love to succeed. I’m not yet fully convinced that lineup would make any Young QB look good though.

I guarantee that any young quarterback would look terrible with the team's current supporting cast.

Jeudy, Watson, Doubs, Toure, Cobb is formidable

Jeudy would definitely improve the unit in a heartbeat but it would still not turn into a strength of the team immediately.

 

[PackerDNA]

Get it done. Go long or go home. I don't want to hear about next year next year never comes. Watching get up this morning and the point was look at the top teams not afraid to make the big moves. The bills go out and get Stefon Diggs. The eagles go out and get AJ Brown. This organization needs to stop being so timid. Get it done.

 

[Pkrjones]

Trade deadline is only 6 hours away & I'm reading Jerry Jeudy is a hot commodity with 3 or more teams interested. Denver has very few weapons, already, for Wilson and demand that their TE's block. Wondering if this package would get a deal done with former Packer coaches Hackett & Outten at the helm?

Packers get: WR - Jeudy & TE - Albert Okwuegbunam (who doesn't block much & in the doghouse)
Broncos get: WR - Watkins & TE - Marcedes Lewis + Packers '23 2nd round & Jacksonville's 7 round pick (higher than ours).

Jeudy instantly becomes GB's #1 WR, is still only 23 yrs old & under contract in '23 for $2.7Mil

GB loses our best blocking TE but allows more snaps for Davis to fill that role while being a better receiver than Lewis.

Not a bad proposal, but I shudder what our oline would look like without our 6th oline man.

 

[tynimiller]

Agreed, I'd be more okay trading Tonyan than Lewis atm given our OL woes.

 

[Pkrjones]

Agreed, I'd be more okay trading Tonyan than Lewis atm given our OL woes.

Denver already has TE Dulcich who I believe plays like Tonyan, but they need better blocking at TE.

I'd love for MLF to use a package with an actual 6th OL (Newman or Rhyan). There's really no mystery when Lewis is in the game that he'll be blocking, so why not go with a 300+ lb'er to really move a DE or LB? Hell, have a goal line package with BOTH Newman & Rhyan with one as FB? Time for MLF to get serious about helping the run game, IMHO.

 

[Snoops]

I can’t wait to see who Green Bay “almost” traded for today.
Or them being involved but ultimately couldn’t get the job done.
I would be absolutely shocked if they did something relevant.
