Packers predicted to trade for former Giants top-5 pick with 'star-level upside' to bolster pass rush

The Green Bay Packers are shaping up to have an exciting season on the offensive side of the ball—one that should be a lot of fun to watch. But the real questions that need answering lie on the defensive side. One of those questions, however, may already be settled: Isaiah Simmons appears to have done enough to secure a roster spot.

“But the Packers are giving Simmons a chance to focus on just one position at linebacker, and there's a chance he could provide something meaningful in a specific subpackage role. Also, it's clear he's the preferred backup option at linebacker, so if nothing else, Simmons looks like a good bet to make the 53 at this point in camp,” Packers Wire's Zach Kruse wrote.
