Once upon a time, the Packers signed Reggie White to one of the most shocking free agency coups in franchise history, ultimately helping Green Bay win Super Bowl XXXI, as the pass rusher racked up three sacks on the game’s biggest stage. Trading for Garrett this offseason could be equally as historic — and it would be just as shocking.
Would GM Brian Gutekunst give up the draft capital necessary to make such a move? That’s debatable. Then again, Gutekunst recently lamented his team’s lack of pass rush, saying he ideally wanted to pressure more without having to blitz heavily. Adding Garrett would be an easy fix — albeit an expensive one. He might be able to unlock some of the young pass-rush talent already on the roster, too.
