Packers prepare for future blockbuster trades with cap space and draft picks, citing past interest in Khalil Mack

The Green Bay Packers have shown willingness in the past to engage in blockbuster trades for elite players at premium positions, such as when they made a real offer for Khalil Mack in 2018. The Packers have substantial projected cap space for 2025 and 2026, with flexibility in their veteran deals to open more space if necessary. They also possess all of their high- and mid-round draft picks, which could be valuable in potential trade packages. However, there are concerns about the sustainability of using high draft capital and cap resources simultaneously, as evidenced by the Chicago Bears' experience with Mack.
