General manager Brian Gutekunst has been very active this offseason in the trade Market. Not necessarily to acquire players, though, but to unload pieces to get some return. With that same premise, the draft weekend presents more opportunities for the Green Bay Packers.

So far this offseason, the Packers traded away edge defender Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 fourth-round pick, wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2026 fifth- and a 2027 sixth-rounder, and defensive tackle Colby Wooden to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for linebacker Zaire Franklin.

So, let’s discuss the three most-likely candidates to go elsewhere over the next week.

TE Luke Musgrave

Musgrave is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He is a talented receiver and it feels like he’s been underutilized in Green Bay, probably because he’s not a great scheme fit for Matt LaFleur’s offensive philosophy. On a team who is more willing to use a tight end as a de facto wide receiver, Musgrave can be much more effective, while LaFleur demands his tight ends to be viable blockers.

This is not necessarily a likely move, though, because Tucker Kraft is getting back from an ACL injury and otherwise the Packers don’t have great options on the roster — Josh Whyle would probably be the primary backup. More importantly, rookie tight ends take some time to develop, even if the Packers decide to take one.

NT Nazir Stackhouse

Stackhouse made the roster last year as a talented undrafted player and was forced into action at times because of the lack of depth — and it was rough. If the Packers decide to draft one or two interior defensive linemen, though, it would be hard to justify a roster spot for Stackhouse. The group already has Devonte Wyatt, Javon Hargrave, Karl Brooks, and Warren Brinson as essential roster locks, so if the Packers can convert Stackhouse into a future Day 3 draft pick, that’s very appealing.

CB Carrington Valentine

Cornerback depth is a concern, so at this point moving on from a player with starting experience is unimaginable. However, everything depends on what happens in the draft. If the Packers can get a CB at 52 and maybe another one later in the process, getting a pick back for a player who has questionable tackling ability and is in the final year of his deal could become more realistic. Even Keisean Nixon could become tradable in this scenario, but Valentine tends to have more value in the market due to his age — and the Packers seem to prefer Nixon because of his tackling effort and alignment versatility.
