The Green Bay Packers might be attempting to get some value back before making a final decision on the roster status of outside linebacker Preston Smith.
According to Albert Breer of MMQB, Smith is one of several veteran players involved in trade discussions around the NFL over the last few weeks.
Breer mentioned Smith, who is set to count $16 million on the Packers’ cap in 2021, as a “short-term fix” for any team that doesn’t want to spend big to get one of the top pass-rushers in free agency.
The Packers could save $8 million in cap space by releasing or trading Smith.
