Packers had a different plan before the Micah Parsons trade originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Green Bay Packers would have made waves this offseason even without the Micah Parsons trade. On Saturday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport revealed that before executing the Parsons blockbuster, the Packers had their sights set on Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.
This development highlights one thing: Green Bay was determined to bolster its defense with a star, regardless of the name.
One key difference in the Packers' attempted trade for Hendrickson was their reluctance to part with defensive tackle Kenny Clark at that stage.
