Carolina Panthers: 3 trade targets from the Green Bay Packers
By Dean Jones
Which members of the Green Bay Packers could the Carolina Panthers possibly target in the trade market?
It has been an offseason of unbelievable change across the board for the Carolina Panthers. They have gutted the organization almost from top to bottom. And this has left them with a revamped roster and a brand-new coaching staff.
Few would argue that this was a necessity to get the Carolina Panthers back to being a contender in the future. There were plenty of overpaid veterans not pulling their weight. And they have now been replaced with young, hungry players with plenty to prove in the NFL.
Carolina’s front office has made a solid start to their rebuild ahead of a 2020 campaign that could be littered with inconsistencies. But more will be needed to improve the roster either via the NFL Draft, 2021 free agency or the trade market.
Continuing our look at possible Panthers’ trade targets from every NFL team, we now turn our attention to the Green Bay Packers. The organization came within one game of reaching the Super Bowl in 2019 despite not being at their best. And they go into next season having made an eye-catching move that has plunged the future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers into doubt.
The Packers made a bold move by taking promising signal-caller Jordan Love with their first-round pick. And this is a similar situation to which Rodgers arrived in the league.
He dropped dramatically before Green Bay took him despite the presence of Brett Favre on their roster. And it eventually resulted in the veteran moving on to the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings.
It remains to be seen whether Rodgers will suffer a similar fate. But this could be his last chance to get a talented team back to the promised land.
Here are three players that the Panthers would benefit from having on their roster if they chose to go in this particular direction.
