The Green Bay Packers reportedly tried to make several moves before the 2019 trade deadline. To be more specific, there was one in the form of acquiring one of the NFL’s rising stars at tight end.
According to Jason Wilde of The Athletic, the front office tried to trade for Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper. This news surfaced right after Atlanta GM Thomas Dimitroff Jr. said he believed a few key, former players, including Hooper, would hit the open market during the offseason. The 25-year-old tight end is scheduled to become a free agent on Wednesday, March 18.
