Green Bay Packers Trade Deadline Rumors and Updates 2025

The 2025 NFL trade deadline has arrived!
Alongside the NFL Draft, free agency period, and schedule release, it is one of the most anticipated non-game day events on the calendar for football fans. While trades have been happening consistently over the past month—such as Joe Flacco's move to the Cincinnati Bengals and Jaire Alexander's trade to the Philadelphia Eagles—it is still expected to be a highly active day for teams across the league. Clubs will make last-minute decisions in an effort to strengthen their rosters both now and for the future.

Stay updated on the Packers throughout the season.
Will the Green Bay Packers make a trade?
It seems likely that they will be actively looking for additions, even though they are currently leading the NFC North with a 5-2-1 record. Recent injuries to key players at tight end, cornerback, and defensive line have posed challenges for the team. These setbacks have created opportunities for other teams to step in and make strategic moves.

Key Factors Influencing the Packers' Trade Decisions

• Injury Impact: The Packers have faced significant challenges due to injuries at critical positions. A weakened defense and limited depth at tight end could prompt them to seek immediate help through trades.

• Roster Flexibility: Despite being in first place, the Packers may look to add depth or specific skill sets that can enhance their performance in the coming weeks. This could involve acquiring players who can contribute immediately or provide long-term value.

• Future Considerations: Teams often make trades not only for current needs but also to build for the future. The Packers might explore options that allow them to maintain competitiveness while preparing for the next season.

No trade the Packers make will be able to match that of defensive end Micah Parsons, who was acquired by Green Bay from the Dallas Cowboys days before the kickoff to the season.

But there are still players to be had, particularly those on the last year of contracts.

Follow below for all the trades today involving the Packers and across the NFL:

When is the NFL trade deadline?

The trade deadline is 3 p.m. Central time Tuesday, Nov. 4.

That’s when trades have to be finalized.

Did the Packers make a trade today?

The NFL trade deadline came and went and the Packers did not make a trade.

Of course, the Packers already made a blockbuster trade before the season started when they acquired Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys.

Packers sign Michael Woods II to practice squad

The Packers didn't make a trade today.

But there was a transaction.

Green Bay signed Michael Woods II to the practice squad, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The 25-year-old former sixth-round pick from Oklahoma spent three seasons with Cleveland from 2022-24, but had been unsigned this season.

He played in 10 games as a rookie but then suffered a ruptured Achilles in the offseason in 2023. He later was suspended for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

He spent much of the 2024 season on the practice squad. For his career, Woods has 12 catches for 110 yards and zero touchdowns in 15 games.

Chargers trade for offensive lineman Trevor Penning

The Los Angeles Chargers needed an offensive tackle following the season-ending injury to Joe Alt.

And they found it by acquiring tackle Trevor Penning in a trade with the New Orleans Saints, who are receiving a seventh-round pick in return.

Alt sustained a right high-ankle sprain in the Chargers' 27-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 9 on Nov. 2. In Penning, the Chargers get a former first-round pick who started all 17 games for the Saints last season.

Colts announce trade for Sauce Gardner

Sauce Gardner is officially a member of the Indianapolis Colts.

The Jets traded their 25-year-old star cornerback to the Colts in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks and 23-year-old wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.

Gardner should instantly elevate the Colts' secondary.

Jets trade Quinnen Williams to Cowboys in second blockbuster move

The New York Jets are in complete teardown mode, while Cowboys general manager Jerry Jones is as active as anyone on trade deadline day.

The Jets have now traded two former top picks within the last couple of hours.

First it was Sauce Gardner, the No. 4 overall pick in 2022 and two-time All-Pro. Then it was defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, the No. 3 overall pick in 2019.

Gardner was traded to the Indianapolis Colts, while Williams, a three-time Pro Bowler from 2022-24, was sent to the Cowboys. It's also the second big move the Cowboys have made today to improve their defense.

The Cowboys are sending a second-round draft pick, a future first-round draft pick and former first-round defensive tackle Mazi Smith, back to the Jets for Williams.

Having an extra first-round draft pick they received from the Green Bay Packers in the Micah Parsons trade made the deal possible for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys received first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 from the Packers, along with defensive tackle Kenny Clark, in exchange for Parsons in August.

And for the Jets, they continue to stockpile first-round draft picks as they trade away team cornerstones that once made New York among the top defensive teams in the NFL. The Jets have now received two first-round picks when trading away Gardner and now get another one in sending Williams to Dallas.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling signs to Steelers practice squad, reunites with Aaron Rodgers

It's not a trade but the Pittsburgh Steelers made a move that will likely interest Packers fans.

The Steelers signed former Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad.

MVS reunites with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh. The Packers selected Valdes-Scantling in the fifth round of the NFL Draft in 2018 and he would spend the first four years of his career in Green Bay with Rodgers throwing him passes. Valdes-Scantling had a workout with the Steelers last week.

He has since played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 and 2023, the Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints in 2024 and the San Francisco 49ers in 2025. Battling a calf injury, he was put on injured reserve on Oct. 17 before his release the following day.

MVS was also on the Seattle Seahawks' roster during the summer and played the Packers in a preseason game in August at Lambeau Field.

Have the Packers made a trade today?

The Packers have not made a trade today ahead of the deadline later this afternoon.

But, according to Easton Butler of Packer Report, the Packers have called about Las Vegas Raiders tight end Micahel Mayer.

Mayer, a 2023 second-round pick from Notre Dame, is in his third season with the Raiders. He has 133 yards on 15 receptions and one touchdown in 2025 playing behind All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers.

The Packers are in need for tight end depth after losing star Tucker Kraft to a season-ending ACL injury in Sunday's Week 9 game.

Bears trade for defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka

The Packers' NFC North rival, Chicago Bears, are making a move to address a need.

The Bears are acquiring defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka from the Cleveland Browns and a seventh-round pick for a sixth-round pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The addition of Tryon-Shoyinka comes just two days after defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the Bears' wild 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Odeyingbo had signed a three-year deal with the Bears in the offseason.

Tryon-Shoyinka, a former first-round pick, was in the first season with the Browns following four years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old will look to help a Bears unit that allows 131.1 rushing yards per game (25th in the league).

How the Jets traded Sauce Gardner to the Colts

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport explained how the blockbuster trade happened:

Seahawks trade for wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from Saints

The Seattle Seahawks are adding to their already top-tier offense.

The Seahawks acquired wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints for fourth- and fifth-round draft picks, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Shaheed will reunite with Klint Kubiak, his offensive coordinator last season in New Orleans, who joined the Seahawks this past offseason in the same role.

Kubiak has helped elevate the Sam Darnold-led Seahawks offense to among the best in the NFL.

Shaheed comes from a team that was 1-8 and in last place in its division and at the bottom of the NFC standing to a Seattle team that is 6-2 and atop its division. Shaheed, who only played in six games in 2024 due to a knee injury that required surgery, has bounced back in 2025.

He has 44 receptions for 499 yards (24^th in the league) and two touchdowns in 2025.

Undrafted out of Weber St., the 27-year-old has 138 catches for 2,055 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career. He had a career-long catch of 87 yards this season.

Sauce Gardner trade: Jets trading cornerback to Colts

The cheesehead-loving Sauce Gardner, a former NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, is being traded from the New York Jets to the Indianapolis Colts, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter.

It's the biggest trade of the season to date not counting the Micah Parsons deal to the Packers.

The Jets are getting two first-round picks for the star cornerback, national outlets reported.

While the Jets are 1-7 on the season and going through another organization rebuild, the Colts are in win-now mode.

At 7-2, Indianapolis is atop the AFC standings.

Gardner was the fourth overall pick by the Jets in 2022 out of Cincinnati and he had an immediate impact. He had 20 passes defended and two interceptions as a rookie as he earned first-team All-Pro as a rookie. Gardner backed up that honor by landing on the All-Pro team again in 2023.

He played for now Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell at Cincinnati during his three-year college career from 2019-21.

Packers fans also know Gardner well. He's sported cheeseheads twice after wins over the Packers at Lambeau Field, one a regular season game in 2022 and then again just a few months ago when the Jets beat the Packers in a preseason game. Gardner also famously burned a cheesehead when he was trying to recruit Aaron Rodgers to the Jets in 2023.

Jakobi Meyers trade: Jaguars acquire wide receiver from the Las Vegas Raiders

Over two months after asking for a trade, Jakobi Meyers finally got it.

The Las Vegas Raiders traded the veteran wide receiver to the Jacksonville Jaguars for fourth and sixth round draft picks in 2026, first reported by national outlets.

The Jaguars confirmed the move later in the morning Nov. 4.

The Jaguars filled a need with the acquisition of Meyers after two-way player Travis Hunter went down with a non-contact injury last month.

Meyers has 352 yards on 33 receptions in seven games this season. The 28-year-old is just a season removed from his first 1,000-yard season when he had a career-high 87 catches for 1,027 yards in 15 games and four touchdowns.

Meyers has carved out a solid NFL career (4,592 yards, 20 touchdowns) after going undrafted in 2019. He played the first four years of his career with the New England Patriots and led the team in receiving yards for three straight years from 2020-22 before signing a three-year deal with the Raiders in 2023.

Meyers was second in receiving yards in both of his full seasons in Las Vegas. But amid contract talks, Meyers, a free agent after the 2025 season, requested a trade after training camp.

Logan Wilson trade: Bengals trade linebacker to Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones implied on Monday, Nov. 3, he had a trade in place.

That trade was revealed early Tuesday, Nov. 4.

The Cowboys are acquiring linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick.

The former sixth-round pick recently requested a trade as his role on defense had been reduced and seeing fewer snaps.

Wilson comes to Dallas hoping to improve one of the worst defensive units in the NFL. He comes from a defense that is ranked at the bottom of the NFL in total defense and scoring defense to one that is second last.

But Wilson has been a solid player throughout his six-year career. He posted 100-plus tackle seasons in four straight years from 2021-24, including a career-high in 2023 with 135. He had four interception seasons in 2021 and 2023.

Packers record

The Packers are 5-2-1 at the trade deadline in 2025 following their upset loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 two days ago.

Last year, the Packers were also coming off a home loss prior to the trade deadline. The Packers were 6-3 in 2024 after their 24-14 loss to the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field heading into the deadline.

In Jordan Love’s first year as the starter in 2023, the Packers were 3-5 at this point in the season.

Packers trades

The Packers have made trades in each of the last two years at the deadline. Both times involved trading away a veteran defensive player - cornerback Rasul Douglas in 2023 and edge rusher Preston Smith in 2024 - where they had depth to gain draft capital. Of course, Green Bay also made a trade that paid off big time with it acquired backup QB Malik Willis before the start of the 2024 season.

And the Packers did something similar this year ahead of 2025, though the acquisition of Parsons shook the scales across the NFL just a little bit more than the Willis deal a season prior.

Gutekunst would love to gain draft picks like he did those years. But would he want to part with anyone given injuries to both sides of the ball?

Packers trade rumors

What’s the chatter involving the Packers at the trade deadline?

The Packers have been calling teams about cornerbacks going back to training camp, scouts recently told PackersNews’ Pete Dougherty.

One might be needed even more with the news that Nate Hobbs will miss multiple weeks with an MCL sprain. He had already been benched after his rough showing last month against the Arizona Cardinals. Carrington Valentine has since stepped in but is there anyone else out there who could help Green Bay shore up this area?

Multiple cornerbacks have moved teams via trades, including Alexander from Baltimore to Philadelphia.

A player to watch, a scout told Dougherty, is Cam Taylor-Britt, a 2022 second-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals. He’s in the final year of his rookie contract and his playing time has been inconsistent for the worst defense in the NFL. Maybe a new team is just what he needs.

Is there a run stopper out there to help a Packers defense that was gashed last week against the Panthers? The Packers will need to correct that guy or the stretch run and a trade is a way to fix it in the short term. The Packers traded veteran defensive lineman Kenny Clark as part of the Parsons deal and his loss is being felt at various points this season.

The Packers might also be in the market for a tight end following the season-ending injury to star TE Tucker Kraft. They do have internal options but adding another pass catcher and blocker can never hurt as the Packers look to navigate in a post-Tucker Kraft world.

Packers schedule 2025

Following the trade deadline, the Packers have nine games remaining on their 2025 schedule. First up is a huge opportunity to get back on track when the Packers play host to the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football.” The Packers had their three-game winning streak snapped last week.
