GREEN BAY — While news of one Green Bay Packers inquiry got plenty of fanfare at last November’s NFL trade deadline — their we’ll-give-you-a-fourth-round-pick proposal to the Houston Texans for speedy wide receiver Will Fuller — general manager Brian Gutekunst actually tried to swing another deal that got considerably less attention.
Gutekunst reportedly offered the New York Giants a mid-round pick for defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson, but the Giants rejected the offer. Tomlinson, a second-round pick from Alabama in 2017 who has never missed a game in his four-year NFL career and had 3.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons while playing nose tackle, finished out the season in New York before signing a two-year, $22 million free agent deal with the Minnesota Vikings last month.
