Story has no details other than LaFleur saying Gute and the Packers are looking extremely hard to find deals they'd like to pull the trigger on...

So listen up for any rumors you hear...

What do the Packers need? Call me crazy, but I think they need more cohesion than adding more pieces.

As I saw on the Tweeter, maybe Broncos eat CB Kyle Fuller contract to trade him? He once signed with Packers (offer sheet). Toss a 6th round for the guy? Is he even any good? I thought I read he's riding the bench.

I think the Packers biggest need right now is return specialist and I feel you can pluck that off someone's practice squad.

Packers need more good healthy DB depth, in case they get more injuries there and Alexander can't return.

Also possible a receiving TE.

And returner, and maybe a great Long Snapper.

A receiving TE would be nice, but I think Packers place a higher value on blocking than receiving TE. But that all being said, more CB depth I can definitely get behind too. Good points made.

DT Fletcher Cox is hating his new defensive scheme and how they can't be as aggressive in it.

If we got Cox and Z healthy, this would be the greatest Packers defensive front, at least since they had Reggie White.

DT: Clark, Cox, Lowry, Keke
OLB: Z, Gary, Preston, Merciless

Would create a very good rotation to possibly keep them fresh all game long.

The best pool of talent available is already on the roster. If we can get get Z.Smith back in a couple weeks and Zaire even in a month (being hopeful) this team will be geared for a run. The diamond in the rough here is all these guys filling in for the starters and gaining all that experience. IF somebody goes down now we probably have a player with the experience to come in and do a solid job. These injuries have increased the quality of the depth on this team.
They survived the first half of the year. They need to get and stay healthy the rest of the year. Legitimate playoff teams are mostly also the heathiest teams. I will take our chances with our current roster getting healthy and staying on the field.. After all, we haven't just been missing players we have been without some of the very best players on this team. Sky is the limit IMO.
