Packers still have trade opportunities to address key needs through several intriguing possibilities in the NFL market
General manager Brian Gutekunst has been active, and the team has the resources and flexibility to add more pieces to the roster.
The Green Bay Packers have been active this offseason even with limited resources. But the team has actually traded away more players than they’ve acquired. The only one who arrived in Green Bay via this method was linebacker Zaire Franklin, who was part of a player-for-player trade involving Colby Wooden to the Indianapolis Colts.
However, general manager Brian Gutekunst has shown willingness to make trades. Last year, for instance, the Packers acquired star edge defender Micah Parsons and backup offensive lineman Darian Kinnard.
So, let’s discuss some players who can realistically get traded this offseason and would help Green Bay in 2026, and potentially beyond.
Josh Sweat, EDGE, Arizona Cardinals
This is the most obvious trade target for the Packers. And we’ve talked a lot about him throughout this offseason, especially because of his connection with defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. Sweat has a reasonable contract, since the Cardinals have already paid his roster bonus, and he would fill a position of need on the roster. Particularly because Micah Parsons will miss the first few games of the season.
Colby Parkinson, TE, Los Angeles Rams
The Rams drafted a tight end in the second round in each of the past two years (Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare). They also have Tyler Higbee under contract. Parkinson is in the last year of his deal, making $7 million, and the Rams would be happy about recouping some draft capital.
The Packers need an in-line tight end, and Gutekunst himself said so. Parkinson played 74% of his offensive snaps as a Y-tight end last season, and he’s been a solid receiver and viable blocker throughout his career. The system familiarity is a plus.
Justice Hill, RB, Baltimore Ravens
The Packers would like to add running back depth, and Hill is a useful offensive piece even if Josh Jacobs is available. Hill is set to make $3.25 million in 2026, so it’s a reasonable salary for a backup runner. He’s had 1,255 rushing yards and 906 receiving yards throughout his NFL career, and his versatility is a calling card.
Blake Fisher, T, Houston Texans
This one would be pretty intriguing. A former second-round pick, Fisher is now behind Aireontae Ersery and Braden Smith on the Texans’ depth chart. Fairly athletic, he’s played 358 snaps at right tackle, 122 at left tackle, and 194 as a sixth offensive lineman, and the versatility is something the Packers love for a backup lineman. Fisher has two years left on his rookie contract, so he would cost $3.9 million over the next two seasons.
Riley Moss, CB, Denver Broncos
Moss isn’t an obvious trade candidate because he can even start for the Broncos. But he’s entering the last year of his deal. The trade compensation would have to be real, but Moss is a solid boundary player who can also play the run and even rush the passer as a blitzer. The Packers are betting on rookies Brandon Cisse and Domani Jackson to upgrade the CB room’s ceiling, but they’re raw and may take some time to develop. For now, the outside starters are Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, who failed to deliver in 2025.
