NFL Trades: 4 teams that should trade for Chase Claypool

Chase Claypool trade destinations: Green Bay Packers

Randall Cobb is out 2-6 weeks according to reporters. Sammy Watkins is back, but how much is that going to do for the Green Bay Packers?

The story for Green Bay since before the season started has been: Who will Aaron Rodgers throw to?

That question still doesn’t feel like it’s actually been answered.

The Packers traded Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason and his shoes have yet to be backfilled. Enter Claypool.

He could enter Green Bay and be the immediate go-to receiver for Rodgers, getting the Packers back on track. They dropped back-to-back games to both New Jersey, er, New York teams.

For what it’s worth, the answer for the Packers is actually to simply use Aaron Jones more and run the dang ball. But if the Packers are so gung-ho on passing even on 3rd-and-1 and 4th-and-1 like they did at the end of the game against the New York Giants, well, they might as well have someone who can catch it for Rodgers.

But if they can actually do what they should and establish more of a run game, it will open things up for receivers. Having Claypool there will make the established run game much more meaningful for the Pack.
