Green Bay Packers fans should be preparing themselves now for another active off-season. For three straight years we have seen significant changes throughout this team come the end of the season.

There could be another big move on the way this year.

Packers Pegged To Lose First Round Pick To The Jets (Report)

The Giants still have Pro Bowl CB Sauce Gardner under contract for one more year, but his secondary partner, DJ Reed, may be leaving. One recent report brings Green Bay into the mix:

According to a new idea from Jets X-Factor’s Michael Nania, Jets GM Darren Mougey could replace Reed at corner with a 25-year-old former first-round pick who is also a free agent: Eric Stokes of the Green Bay Packers.

“D.J. Reed will hit free agency and is widely viewed as the top cornerback on the market, so he may demand a contract that is too rich for the Jets’ liking,” Nania said on Tuesday.

BEST FROM THE STASH PROMO

“New York will have a starting spot to fill on the outside across from Sauce Gardner. The Jets have in-house options in Qwan’tez Stiggers and Jarrick Bernard-Converse, although they were late-round picks and have yet to show much in the NFL.”

“New York would be wise to fill this spot with a veteran who can be relied upon to start.”

“When evaluating prospective cornerbacks for Steve Wilks’ defense, zone coverage skills are the top priority. …Green Bay’s Eric Stokes stands out as an appealing candidate. … Stokes started his career with a solid rookie season, but injuries plagued his second and third seasons.

Stokes played only 12 games from 2022-23 and mostly struggled. The Packers declined his fifth-year option for the 2025 season.”
