from the Packers to the Raiders earlier this offseason, but league rules surrounding a team's inability to trade a franchise tagged player for a non-franchise tagged player allegedly helped nix the reported agreement.
With the 2022 NFL Draft fast approaching this weekend, the Packers and Raiders could revisit such discussions involving Waller immediately. The Packers currently own two first-round selections , and would likely be unwilling to part with one of these selections in exchange for Waller. However, the Packers also own two second-round selections , and could benefit from flipping one of those picks in return for Waller.
Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst would be wise to acquire a high-level pass catcher such as Waller given the team's current pass-catching situation. The deal that sent Adams to the Raiders currently leaves the Packers' passing offense without a dominant target hog. Green Bay recently agreed to a one-year contract with Sammy Watkins, but it would be foolish to rely on the former Clemson standout whose best football is well behind him.
Franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers agreed to return to the organization after some offseason discussions that Rodgers would play elsewhere. Rodgers ultimately signed a three-year contract extension with the Packers worth $150.8 million, with $101.5 million guaranteed. The historical deal all but guarantees that Rodgers will retire a Packer and places added pressure on the Packers organization to win another Super Bowl in the dwindling Rodgers era.
Adding Waller would also alleviate some of the pressure off Gutekunst's shoulders to draft a first-round receiver that is ready to contribute immediately. The Packers have historically rarely spent high draft picks on receivers. Although that's largely expected to change this week, Gutekunst would be wise to pair an exciting first-round receiver prospect with a more proven weapon such as Waller.
