The speculation surrounding the Green Bay Packers acquiring another pass catcher via trade, at least publicly, has mostly centered around veteran wide receivers such as DK Metcalf or Deebo Samuel.
According to a pair of league sources, however, the Packers are targeting a veteran tight end. Specifically, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller. The Packers and Raiders have engaged in talks regarding a trade of Waller with an eye toward a deal getting done during this week’s NFL draft.
Waller is also apparently the player the Packers were trying to pry away from the Raiders during the negotiations around the trade of Davante Adams, a move that was nixed when both sides were reminded that league rules prohibit players being part of compensation for a trade of a player on the franchise tag.
