Could the Green Bay Packers seriously trade for a running back?

You wouldn't think that the Green Bay Packers would be in the market for a running back considering that their backfield is led by three-time Pro Bowler Josh Jacobs and also features Emanuel Wilson, who had a very strong year as the Packers' backup last season.

However, Cameron Sheath of Pro Football Network actually thinks Green Bay could toss its hat into the ring when it comes to New York Jets halfback Breece Hall.

Many are expecting Hall to be dealt by the NFL trade deadline, and while the Packers don't seem like a standout destination for the Iowa State product, Sheath feels that a match would make sense.

"While Jacobs remains a key component of Matt LaFleur’s offense, Green Bay can lack explosive plays if it’s not a deep shot from [Jordan] Love," Sheath wrote. "Jacobs would still be the lead back, but pairing him with Hall would add a home-run threat to the Packers’ ground game, with the team eyeing a Super Bowl in the short term."

Jacobs had his first genuinely strong performance of the year this past Sunday, carrying the ball 18 times for 93 yards and a couple of touchdowns in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals. On the season overall, he has rushed for 359 yards and six scores on just 3.7 yards per attempt.

He is getting into the end zone, but his efficiency obviously leaves much to be desired, and perhaps acquiring Hall could help keep him fresher.

Hall has registered 410 rushing yards while averaging 4.7 pards per tote in 2025 and already has a pair of 100-yard outings under his belt, a feat that Jacobs has yet to accomplish this season.

But would the Packers be willing to meet the asking price for a player who is really more of a luxury than a necessity?

Remember: Hall is in the final year of his contract, and it seems incredibly unlikely that Green Bay would re-sign him. The Packers are trying to win a Super Bowl, but general manager Brian Gutekunst is notoriously conservative and is going to be very careful when it comes to trading draft capital between now and Nov. 4, especially after surrendering a pair of first-round picks in exchange for Micah Parsons shortly before the campaign began.

Plus, Wilson displayed last year that he is perfectly capable of filling the No. 2 role in the backfield, so you have to imagine that Green Bay would pass on Hall unless the price was shockingly low.
