The Green Bay Packers are on the brink of having yet another eventful off-season. We have already seen numerous coaching changes, there could be even more players moved.
On defense specifically, there could be some free agents coming in (again) to reinforce certain positions. However, it won’t be easy.
Packers See NFC Rival Skyrocket Past Them For Franchise Star (Report)
After publicly requesting a trad, a clear favorite has emerged to acquire a former first-overall pick:
The Commanders, who made a surprising run to the NFC Championship game, currently have the best odds (+350) at DraftKings Sportsbook to acquire Garrett.
The Super Bowl champion Eagles, who already feature an elite defensive line, are the second-favorites at +500 odds.
Then there’s the chance that the Browns, who have Garrett under contract for two more seasons, hold on to their defensive superstar (+550).
Myles Garrett next team odds
Garrett, 29, has spent all eight seasons of his career in Cleveland, making the postseason just twice during his tenure.
The Browns were one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, going 3-14 to land the No. 2 pick in the draft.
It seems possible for the Packers to acquire Garrett, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Among other things, the Green Bay Packers would have to give up first-round picks in 2025, second-round picks in 2026, and Lukas Van Ness in order to acquire the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
“Coach Matt LaFleur recently fired defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich after a season in which (GM Brian) Gutekunst said the pass rush was too inconsistent. A six-time All-Pro might help fix that,” Schneidman wrote in his column.
That is a lot to give up for one player, but when it’s a “Reggie White” type of move, sometimes you have to pull the trigger.
