The Green Bay Packers have been active on the trade market. This offseason alone, they traded edge defender Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, in addition to acquiring linebacker Zaire Franklin for defensive tackle Colby Wooden.

That’s a lot of change for one offseason, but general manager Brian Gutekunst seems willing to explore every avenue to improve the roster.

Now, if Gutekunst wants to spend some of that draft capital to reinforce the roster, there are multiple potential options as trade targets out there. Let’s discuss some of them.

DT Dexter Lawrence, New York Giants

Lawrence showed some signs of regression over the past two years, but it was a different defensive scheme and he is still a highly effective interior defensive lineman — both to generate pressure and to stop the run. The Packers have an obvious need at the position, even after signing Javon Hargrave, and the addition of a true All-Pro could make the short-term situation look much improved. Lawrence is under contract for two more years, making $20 million in 2026 and $19.5 million in 2027.

EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux, New York Giants

Thibodeaux is on the trade radar since the Giants traded for Brian Burns and drafted Abdul Carter, creating a surplus at edge defender. The former fifth overall pick hasn’t been a highly productive pass rusher, but he’s solid there — and also a strong run defender. Last year, he generated 32 pressures and 19 stops. His best year came in 2023, with 43 pressures and 29 stops as a full-time starter. The question is if the Packers would want to absorb the combination of trade compensation plus potentially a new contract. Thibodeaux is playing under his $14.751 million fifth-year option.

CB Renardo Green, San Francisco 49ers

John Lynch has consistently shut down the idea of trading Green, but the speculation is out there throughout the offseason. The 49ers have Deommodore Lenoir, Upton Stout, Eli Apple, and recently signed former Packer Nate Hobbs, so moving on from a cornerback is realistic for the right compensation. Green is 6-0 and is a boundary corner. He regressed last season after a strong rookie year — but even then, he allowed an 82.6 passer rating when targeted, with seven pass breakups. He’s under contract for $1.7 million in 2026 and $2 million in 2027, making him even more attractive for potential buyers.

QB Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts

The Packers made a similar move two years ago trading for Malik Willis, and that one paid off big time. The difference now is that Richardson has only one year left on his rookie deal, at $5.38 million, presuming nobody would exercise his $22.483 million fifth-year option. Richardson has struggled as a passer and with consistency, but the arm and the physical talent are there. Throughout three years in Indy, he had 11 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions, a 67.8 passer rating, and 10 rushing touchdowns.

WR Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills

Coleman fell out of favor in Buffalo last year for multiple reasons — lack of production and indiscipline. He is set to make $2.75 million in 2026 and $3.2 million in 2027 as a former high second-round pick. A big-bodied, possession receiver, Coleman had 1.5 yards per route run throughout his NFL career, generating a 93.3 passer rating when targeted. That’s not ideal based on when he was drafted, but it’s also far from unplayable.
