Some of the best decisions that Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has made during his tenure leading the Packers have been the moves he didn’t actually make.
A Las Vegas Raiders tight end at the time, Darren Waller was supposed to be part of the original trade that eventually sent Davante Adams out west. Essentially, the Packers subbed out Waller for a second-round pick in the trade, once both sides realized that Green Bay couldn’t participate in a player-for-player trade. Adams had not yet signed his franchise tag tender with the team, part of the conditions for allowing such a trade to occur for a player hit by the tag.
