Green Bay Packers Trade Offensive Starter For Haul That Directly Impacts Jordan Love In Latest Proposal

Green Bay Packers fans are witnessing a new era in the team’s history.  Over the course of the last few seasons, they have completely revamped both their offensive and defensive personnel.  It was officially the end of the 2010s era when Aaron Rodgers was traded away last off-season.

Packers still have trade options, however.

The Green Bay Packers Could Trade Away Joran Love Protection

According to Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report:

Offensive line depth is always in demand. While there are some questions for the Packers offensive line there are also a lot of options. The Packers have 14 lineman on the roster right now and had 11 on their initial 53-man roster in 2023.

Royce Newman could find himself on the fringe of useful and expendable as the team figures out which linemen to release.

The 26-year-old started 16 games as a rookie in 2021. He’s had a diminished role in each season since. Last year, he made just two starts, played 183 total offensive snaps and earned a PFF grade of just 44.3.

The Packers are a team that continually invests in the offensive line and this offseason was no different. They drafted three offensive linemen, including first-round pick Jordan Morgan. They also signed Andre Dillard.

There could be teams out there who believe they can get something more out of Newman. Starting experience is valuable in the league and there aren’t a lot of teams with a surplus of offensive line talent.

The Packers could be an exception and their willingness to deal Newman could score them an additional draft pick as Newman reaches the final year of his contract.

The Packers may very well be looking at moving on from an offensive lineman or two this season.  It will all depend on who wins the position battles during training camp and into the pre-season.

However, depth along the offensive line is a huge point of emphasis for Matt LaFleur’s offense.  If keeping Newman provides that depth, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him stay in Green Bay for another year.
