Before any further discussion, I need more than a Aaron Nagler rumor. I have found no one credible reporting that the Packers are engaged in talks with the Raiders for Waller.

A lot of crap hitting walls around draft time. My BS meter is starting to register pretty high on this one.

Did the Packers feel there's no need to rush, let's see if someone else comes available? Or maybe it was let's see if Waller gets hurt? Of course, you NEVER hope for that, but why submit a trade before you actually need to? That's the only thing I can think about with waiting and assuming the rumor is true.

Giving back a 2nd for a 2 year rental doesn't seem to be Gute's style. Not when he can select a 22 year old for 4 years plus a potential second contract in a matter of 80 hours or so.
