[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1066383, member: 10086"] Good Morning. It’s a great reflection of what’s truly important. The Bigger Picture. The one thing that Veterans bring is more immediate help. What I’ve noticed is we generally trade players with signs of trouble. Preston Smith was traded when he wasn’t deemed a good fit in our 4-3. Rasul was traded when at that juncture, The Packers looked be in a hole and still in a mini-rebuild mode. [LIST] [*][B]Randall Cobb:[/B] The Packers traded a sixth-round pick to bring Randall Cobb back to Green Bay in 2021 [/LIST] *imo This was an out of character trade to appease Aaron Rodgers with tensions rising after drafting his successor. [LIST] [*][B]Rasul Douglas:[/B] Acquired via trade during the 2021 season, [URL='https://packerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2025/07/30/pair-of-win-win-trades-suggested-for-packers-during-training-camp/85436848007/']Douglas emerged as a key contributor[/URL]. In 2024, the Packers later traded Douglas and a 2024 fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for a 2024 third-round pick. [/LIST] I listed some other acquisitions by our current GM. I think we start to see that Brian is not immune to adding players, but he’ll most often scrape a player at cutdowns, waivers etc. His most regular move is at Special Teams or bottom of the Roster spots. When he does rarely go get a Starter in season? it’s most often because of injury or a substantial need arises. [LIST] [*][B]Keisean Nixon:[/B] Signed as a free agent during the 2022 season, Nixon became a first-team All-Pro kick returner. [*][B]Whitney Mercilus:[/B] Signed as a free agent during the 2021 season.
