The Packers didn’t make any big moves to bolster their roster at this year’s trade deadline, but you’re a living Packers fan, so you’re not surprised by that.
True to form, the Packers will work to fix what ails them internally and with small moves that may become available. They’ll try to figure out what life after Tucker Kraft looks like with an assortment of internal options, and they’ll shore up whatever weaknesses they have elsewhere by rummaging through the bargain bin.
And, to be fair, this approach has worked before. Howard Green is the ultimate example, playing solid football for the Packers in 2010 up to and including the moment in Super Bowl XLV when he whacked Ben Roethlisberger’s throwing arm mid-pass, leading to a key interception. But there are others. Andre Rison played a similar role on the Packers’ 1996 Super Bowl run. Rasul Douglas emerged from obscurity to bolster the Packers in 2021. Even bit players like Tyler Ervin have come seemingly from nowhere to lend their valuable services in a timely manner.
Will the Packers strike gold again? Anything is possible, and given their obvious weaknesses on what should otherwise be a championship-caliber roster, we should hope they can get it done.
