Packers Predicted to Trade 2nd, 4th-Rounders for $72 Million DT

The Green Bay Packers have exceeded expectations trading Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers over the past two years, and the coming offseason could see the team begin building its ranks back up with star players.

Alex Kay of Bleacher Report on Tuesday, January 16, predicted Green Bay will look to the trade market as well as free agency in the coming months and ultimately deal for Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen.

Allen had openly expressed frustration with how the Commanders were faring during a trying 2023 campaign. He’s previously admitted that despite growing up as a fan of the team in Virginia, he’s given thought to playing elsewhere and wants to be part of a winning franchise. While he hasn’t officially requested a trade, it’s possible he won’t have to if the team implements a full-blown rebuild.

The Packers still have a real need in the defensive trenches after allowing a lowly 126.3 rushing yards per game and tallying a middling 45 sacks in 2023. Allen would be an ideal solution to both issues and can slide over to defensive end in Green Bay’s 3-4 front.

It would likely cost the club the better of of its two Round 2 draft selections this year plus more to get a deal done, but parting with these picks would well be worth the value Allen will add to this defense.

Jonathan Allen Offers Packers 2-Time Pro-Bowl Talent on Reasonable Contract

Allen is a two-time Pro Bowler, earning the honors in consecutive seasons in 2021 and 2022.

His production took a step back this season, as Allen amassed 5.5 sacks compared to 7.5 and 9 sacks, respectively, in the two years prior. However, Pro Football Focus still rated the defensive tackle as a well-above-average pass rusher for his position and his contributions to that facet of the defense should aid the likes of outside linebackers Rashan Gary and Preston Smith.

Allen is two years into a four-year, $72 million contract. However, his base salary over the final two seasons of the deal is only $29.5 million. That makes him more affordable for a Packers team that had $8 million in estimated salary cap space for 2024 as of Wednesday.

Interesting Idea.
Go Packers!!!!

Microsoft News Clickbait........all you need to know about this article.
There's going to be hundreds of these articles between now and the draft.

The Packers will still be getting out of(self-imposed) cap hell through the 2024 year.
I don't see them going on a spending binge for a D-lineman, or any other player.

Draft and develope for at least another year.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

The only 2 contracts the Packers will be worried about is Jordan Love and saying bye bye to Bahk. I don't think bringing him in with such a big price tag is worth it. Wyatt I think took a huge step this season and I think the running game problems come from worrying about the secondary. I would love to see an aggressive defensive coordinator come to GB (everyone's dream of Jim Leonard but that won't happen)and use the speed we have drafted in the past 15 years on defense lol.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
