The Green Bay Packers are still very much in the mix when it comes to NFC Super Bowl contenders, although the recent torn ACL suffered by superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons has dampened those talks.
Despite the injury to Parsons, the Packers are an extremely talented football team. Green Bay has a ton of talent on the offensive side of the football and the defense is still more than capable of playing at a high level without Parsons.
Looking closer at the offense, Jordan Love has taken a big step in the right direction this season. He has still had some tough moments, but there is no denying the development and improvement he has made from last season to this year.

With that being said, the Packers are still missing an elite No. 1 wide receiver for Love.
...
Last offseason, many expected Green Bay to get involved in pursuing a No. 1 target like DK Metcalf. While the Packers were heavily rumored as a landing spot for Metcalf, they opted instead to draft Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Heading into the upcoming offseason, could Green Bay consider circling back around to the idea of acquiring a top-tier wideout?
That is exactly what has been suggested by Bleacher Report analyst Mike Chiari. He named the Packers as one of the top potential trade suitors for superstar wide receiver A.J. Brown if the Philadelphia Eagles decide to trade him.
Brown has been clearly unhappy with his role on the Eagles over the last couple of years. There has been a lot of drama surrounding him in Philadelphia and it's quite possible that both Brown and the Eagles would be open to parting ways.
So far this season, Brown has racked up 64 receptions for 840 yards and seven touchdowns. He still has one year left on his contract, which would give Green Bay a potential out after next season if things didn't work out.

Adding Brown for Love could be exactly what the Packers' offense has been missing. His playmaking ability would open up the offense even more for Matt LaFleur.
This is just speculation and far from being a report that Green Bay is interested in Brown or that Philadelphia would trade him. But, if he is made available, the Packers could make a ton of sense as a landing spot.
