Though the franchise tag removed many quality pass rushers from free agency, it did place one of the top options onto the trade market when the Kansas City Chiefs tagged Dee Ford. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Green Bay Packers have expressed interest in trading for the veteran edge defender.
Restocking at outside linebacker ranks among the Packers’ top priorities this offseason. Not only does longtime pass rusher Clay Matthews hit free agency, but the team could also part ways with Nick Perry following a disappointing, injury-plagued season.
