    Packers called top option to land Cowboys superstar in possible stunner

    The Green Bay Packers are in a good spot but could get even better with a trade.

    Green Bay has high expectations heading into the 2024 season thanks in large part to the success of young quarterback Jordan Love in 2023. He shined in his first season as the franchise's starter and now is expected to take another step forward in 2024.

    The Packers did a good job putting weapons around Love in the offseason but another move could make sense. Bleacher Report's Maurice Moton even listed the Packers as a possible option for Dallas Cowboys superstar CeeDee Lamb.

    "Cowboys receive: 2025 first-round pick, 2025 third-rounder, Christian Watson," Moton proposed. "Packers receive: CeeDee Lamb. In 2023, Jordan Love showed that he's a franchise quarterback. The Green Bay Packers passing offense finished 12th in yards with the third-most touchdowns. The Packers' aerial attack made leaps and bounds with a first-year starting quarterback while wideout Christian Watson battled through injuries that cost him eight games...

    "In exchange for Watson, a 25-year-old high-upside wideout, the Packers would get a bonafide No. 1 receiver as the rest of their young pass-catching group continues to grow into its own. They have $22.4 million in cap space this year, and $16.4 million for 2025, though the front office can restructure contracts to free up space if necessary. The Cowboys may not love the idea of trading Lamb to the team that throttled them in the 2023 NFC Wild Card Round, but if they struggle to reach a new contract agreement with him, Dallas may see this offer as the best proposal in a resolution."

    If Lamb actually is available, the Packers should do everything possible to get a deal done.
