Pro Football Focus thinks the Green Bay Packers are one of two teams (along with the Houston Texans) that should attempt to trade for Las Vegas Raiders star tight end Darren Waller.

Waller, a Pro-Bowler in 2020, is looking for a new contract. The former Georgia Tech standout has two years remaining on his contract.

While Waller would love a new contract, he's not forcing the Raiders to trade him. He's back at practice this week after dealing with a hamstring injury (not a "hold in"…supposedly).

If the Raiders choose to trade Waller, PFF thinks a team would have to give up a 2023 second-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick to acquire the talented tight end.

From PFF:

Over the past three seasons, Waller trails only Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews in Wins Above Replacement among tight ends. While Waller is on the older side for a tight end, he’s sustained much less wear and tear because of his late breakout, having played only 2,917 snaps to date. Kelce has logged over 3,300 snaps in just the past three seasons alone, almost entirely while in his 30s. While Waller has dealt with a few minor injuries, including last season, he could certainly make the argument that he has several years of top-end play left in him.

At the same time, Waller is also wise to get new money as soon as possible with the fleeting reality of football, with just $14 million owed to him over the two remaining years on his current contract. Aaron Nagler of Cheesehead TV reported the Green Bay Packers made attempts to acquire Waller earlier this offseason, so perhaps they revisit that conversation if an extension can’t be reached with the Raiders.

The Packers could certainly use a reliable pass-catcher and also have a short window of contention before quarterback Aaron Rodgers hangs ‘em up. Making Waller the highest-paid tight end in the NFL would still only cost about half of what Davante Adams signed for in Las Vegas.

Waller is an elite player and would be a welcome addition to a Packers receiving corps facing plenty of questions this season.

But this move almost certainly won't happen.

For starters, Green Bay tried to acquire Waller in the trade that sent wide receiver Davante Adams to the Raiders. If Las Vegas wasn't willing to send Waller to the Packers earlier this offseason, why would they consider doing it just a couple of weeks before the start of the season?

It would be different if Waller was forcing the Raiders' hand, but he's not. Of course he wants a new deal — what high-producing player doesn't? But he's not threatening to sit out if he doesn't get that deal.

The Raiders have no reason to trade Waller right now. Maybe that changes next offseason. But for this season, the Packers' receiving group is what it is. I don't see them making any major changes before the start of the season.
