Could the Green Bay Packers get a major deal done in the not-so-distant future?
Green Bay was solid last season and finished the season with a 9-8 record. The Packers are loaded with talent and have the possibility to take another step forward in 2024 but an upgrade at receiver still could make sense.
Bleacher Report's Alex Kay put together a list of four possible trade proposals for San Francisco 49ers star Brandon Aiyuk and mentioned the Packers as a possible landing spot.
"San Francisco 49ers receive: (Wide receiver) Christian Watson, 2025 second-round pick (and) Green Bay Packers receive: (Wide Receiver) Brandon Aiyuk," Kay said. "The Green Bay Packers emerged as one of the league's most astonishing contenders last year, even pulling off a Wild Card round upset before their thrilling playoff run came to an end. Expectations for this upstart club are now elevated, making an Aiyuk trade one method for the Packers to meet these lofty projections.
"While Green Bay already has a slew of intriguing young wideouts in Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Christian Watson on the roster, none of these pass-catchers are as well-rounded or as proven as Aiyuk. Flipping Watson — who possesses arguably the most upside of any receiver on this roster — and a second-round pick to the 49ers could get a deal done that will take the Packers to the next level."
While this is just a hypothetical trade proposal and not a report, it is an interesting proposal. The longer Aiyuk remains without a new deal, the more likely a trade could happen.
