If you narrowed the options based on that criterion, you'd potentially be talking about guys like:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mike Williams (LAC)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">John Ross (CIN)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Keelan Cole (JAC)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Curtis Samuel (CAR)</li> </ul>And then a couple of the Houston guys, Kenny Stills and Brandin Cooks, are not on rookie deals but would probably have cap numbers this year that are low enough to work if Green Bay really wanted to make it happen. Stills is in the last year of his deal, and Cooks can be cut after this season with zero penalty. For half a season, Stills would count about 3.5M against the cap, and Cooks 4M. But the sequence of things that all have to be true for this to work make it unlikely when you consider who will/won't be made available, who the Packers actually like, what it would cost in draft capital, and what they can avoid cap wise.The overlap of the venn diagram of guys who the Packers could afford and guys who teams would be willing to trade is pretty tiny. And we don't even know if they like any of the guys who end up inside that shaded middle.</blockquote>
