The Green Bay Packers are in the midst of a new era. They’ve completely revamped their offensive and defensive personnel over the last few seasons. Trading away Aaron Rodgers last off-season was the final nail in the 2010s-era coffin.
However, that doesn’t mean the Packers don’t have any more trade options.
The Green Bay Packers Could Land Major Haul In Trade
According to Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report:
Here’s the big one. This isn’t an argument that Kenny Clark should be traded. He’s still performing at a high level and he just set a career-high for sacks with 7.5 last season.
But if the Packers are looking to make a deal and want to bring back some draft capital, then Clark is a prime candidate. He’ll turn 29 years old during the season and he’s on the final year of his contract.
The Packers already have $13.7 million invested in him next season in the form of a void year on his contract. The question is whether they will want to spend the additional money necessary to actually get him under contract.
Clark has said that there have been talks about a contract extension and Gutekunst has said that the team would “love to keep him around“.
In other words, it seems like both sides would prefer to work something out. However, Clark was right around the age that Davante Adams was when the Packers traded him to the Raiders. There were different circumstances, but both were up for new contracts as they neared their age-30 seasons.
If Clark’s terms for a new contract are too rich for what the Packers want to pay, it could make sense for them to move on and re-stock their draft pick coffers.
At this point, it would likely take an extremely good offer along with Devonte Wyatt taking a massive year three leap for this to become a possibility.
