Packers Predicted to Target Super Bowl Champ at Trade Deadline

The Packers would certainly be excused if they sat out this year’s go-round of the NFL trade deadline cycle, given the fact that they pulled off one of the biggest trades in the history of the franchise just before this season kicked off, when they added star pass-rusher Micah Parsons.
Still, at 5-1-1, the Packers are the best team in the NFL, and should be considered among the favorites–if not the favorite–to go to the Super Bowl from the NFC. And with the state of the AFC being somewhat down, the Packers probably should be among the top two or three teams to be come out with a championship this season.
And that’s despite not quite playing up to the sum of their parts yet. As good as the Packers are, record-wise, there is a sense that they have not had all units firing at the same time. Maybe, adding a piece or two at the NFL trade deadline could help solidify a team that could use another roster jolt.
Sebastian Joseph-Day to Help Replace Kenny Clark?
With that in mind, the folks at ESPN note that it would not be a surprise to see Green Bay sit on the sidelines when the deadline comes next week. Still, the Packers need some help on the defensive front, having sent Kenny Clark to Dallas in the Parsons deal and could look to Titans veteran Sebastian Joseph-Day to help solve the problem.
Joseph-Day came up with the Rams and was a starter in his first two seasons. Writes ESPN:
“Titans defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day. The Packers are thin on the defensive interior after the departure of Kenny Clark in the Parsons trade, and Wyatt’s injury has served as a stark reminder of that vulnerability. Joseph-Day is a stout run defender on a one-year deal — perfect for patching one of the few remaining holes on a Super Bowl contender.”
Packers Could Make Minor Outgoing Moves, Too
The Packers, as things stand, have a pretty good rotation of defensive linemen, when healthy. Devonte Wyatt has just returned from a knee injury, and the team’s other top linemen, Karl Brooks and Colby Wooden have been effective.
But more depth and experience would be welcome, and Joseph-Day was the No. 23-ranked defensive lineman at Pro Football Focus last season, and is No. 37 this year.
As for possible outgoing pieces, the Packers could look to move Sean Rhyan.
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky wrote, “Rhyan, a third-round pick in 2022, is in the final year of his rookie contract. He lost his starting spot to 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan (although they alternated series in the most recent game) and seems to know his time in Green Bay is running short.”
