GREEN BAY − The Green Bay Packers are no strangers to making blockbuster trades.
This offseason, the Packers made a splash when they traded for star defensive end Micah Parsons.
The NFL trade deadline is just days away on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
With that, we asked Packers fans the question of the week:
Is there a position group the Packers should explore before the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4?
Dave: The cornerback position needs reinforcement.
Jack: Cornerback or defensive line. It’s not ugly, but it could be with an injury or two.
Curt Chm: D Tackle
Gary Guenther: Cornerback
Nick: Corner. Valentine and Hobbs haven’t played well.
Mike Hogan: Cornerback
Ryan: Cornerback
Jim Lindenberg: Cornerback
Dwayne Postma: Yes. If the right deal for a CB would present itself, I believe the Packers should work to make it happen. Something reasonable (it is not a desperate situation).
Jeff Polack: A play-making cornerback, or we will be a one-and-done team in the 2025 playoffs.
Wynn: Get rid of No. 25
Cory: Cornerback, there’s no depth there and the guys they have aren’t going to cut it down the road.
John Zablocki: Cornerback
Ted: Cornerback
Theodore Sadlouskos: Cornerback
Jim: Cornerback room needs help badly.
Cheesehead in Seattle: Cornerback
Chad Mlenar: Cornerback
Scott: Cornerback is the obvious answer, but I think defensive line depth is needed as well.
Kurt: Cornerback
Michael Glotz: Cornerback
Michael Izard: I would improve and fortify the cornerback and defensive tackle positions.
Dave Spice: Cornerback
Jim: Cornerback
Joe: Cornerback
Mark: DT, Calais Campbell for a 7th
Dave: Cornerback. The secondary has struggled with coverage a few games this year. Playing Valentine outside instead of Hobbs was a good move. Nixon has improved but not a lock down corner. Getting one in a trade is a long shot but needed.
Gary Bergman: Cornerback
Keith: Cornerback
Tim O’Connor: Cornerback
Eric Edwarda: Cornerback
Gary: Cornerback
Neal Ricker: Cornerback
Marsha: Cornerback definitely. But not a slot corner. We have plenty of those.
Janis: Cornerback
Cal: Cornerback
Steve: Easy one: Cornerback
Jeff Witthun: Cornerback
Nick: Cornerback
Jason: Cornerback
Peter Klimczak: Cornerback (replace Nixon)
Mike: Cornerback, quality and depth are an issue
Jaire: Cornerback
Kevin: Cornerback
Richard Sanders: Cornerback
Norman: Cornerback
Allen Wilson: I am thinking maybe one more secondary person and a defensive lineman if anything.
Erwin Penny: It would seem to the fans that help at cornerback would be one of the biggest needs. Hobbs and Nixon have not played well at times. But, what can you really get from the market. Corners are hard to come by/buy so that would seem unlikely.
Mike: Cornerback or DT.
Tom: Cornerback
Todd: A good, young, fast corner.
Jim: Cornerback and defensive lineman. Cornerback play has been just ok and they could really use a big run stopper to bolster the middle of the line on defense. They don’t seem to have a lot of depth at those two positions.
John: Cornerback
Dave: Cornerback
Mike K: Cornerback
Mike: Cornerback
Phil Heinz: Cornerback
Kenneth Bradshaw: 1) Vet cornerback 2) Defensive lineman, run stuffer
Tosafish: Cornerback! Too late on McCreary. Maybe DT for injury protection. If the Packers add 1 then it’s an easy roster move – cut a kicker. If more than that, who is on the bubble – Melton, Hadden, Oladapo? Still need room for Reed, maybe Lloyd, other gameday matchup rosters. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gutenkunst sat still.
Rod: Offensive line
Pittsburgh Packer fan: Maybe a proven special teamer — particularly a punt returner. Nixon’s ugly muffed punt could’ve been another ST disaster.
Brian: Backup run stuffer (nose tackle)
Curt: D Tackle
Badger808: Cornerback
Thomas Rusch: Cornerback, cornerback, and definitely a cornerback.
Kelly Kudrna: Safety
Kurt Buchberger: Cornerback
Erwin: Cornerback
Dave: Cornerback
Tim: Cornerback
Russ Tock: Cornerback
Gary: Cornerback
Brad McCrillis: Cornerback and offensive line
Andrew: Cornerback
Ralph: I would say cornerback but good cornerbacks are hard to get. It would be nice to get a run stuffing DT or a punt returner.
Michael Holland: Cornerback
Larry: Cornerback
Gary Born: Depth at Oline tackle
Paul: Cornerback
Troy Auth: Offensive line depth
Tom: Cornerback
Jim: Secondary
Ralph: Cornerback
Tim Hando: This is not a tricky question. It’s a healthy portion of DB, DB and DB followed by a pinch of DT.
John Francois: Cornerback
Dan Cropp: Cornerback
John Prestby: Cornerbacks
Noah Mertens: I think they should consider trying to trade/cut #17 Brandon McManus and sign #19 Lucas Havrisik, especially after a disappointing performance against the Steelers.
C Lajoye: Oline, CB
Johnny: Cornerback
Jake: Cornerback
Michael James Miller: The biggest weakness for the Packers is at cornerback.
