Packers Trade Trio, Rebuild QB Depth | NFL News

The Packers pulled off three bold trades at the deadline, sending promising QB Kyle McCord to Miami for a future pick, then snagging running back Kaleb Johnson and tight end Mark Redman—both from the Steelers and Rams respectively—for later-round picks. Johnson, a former Iowa standout, could fill the void left by Josh Jacobs’ injury, while Redman brings needed blocking depth. The McCord trade is especially intriguing: they got him for nothing and turned him into a draft asset before he played a snap, showcasing savvy roster management—even if it leaves them back at square one at QB. With Tyrod Taylor aging, letting McCord go may have been a missed opportunity, but in a win-now scenario, prioritizing immediate needs makes strategic sense. These moves signal a team betting big on depth over development—and only time will tell if it pays off.
