Why Packers should stand pat at the NFL trade deadline

The Green Bay Packers will soon have a decision to make in terms of roster construction: should general manager Brian Gutekunst get aggressive at the trade deadline, stand pat or admit defeat and sell?

The deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 1. One week away.

This team needs a receiver.
