One of the Pro Bowlers on the Green Bay Packers has been named a trade candidate this season.
The Green Bay Packers' 2026 season hasn't gone to plan so far, with the team sitting at 1-2 on the year.
But this team could easily have been 0-3, if not for a miraculous comeback in Week 2 against the New York Jets. Green Bay just hasn't looked very good on either side of the ball, with the offensive line struggling heavily.
While it's only Week 4 of the season, habits can be tough to get rid of if they linger for too long. But the Packers are a confident group, and this team has the goal of righting the ship to go after a Super Bowl title this season.
Green Bay has been dealing with a lot of injury problems this season, and adding some future draft capital could help them down the line. This team hasn't lived up to its potential so far, and this could lead to some trades taking place this year.
One name that could be interesting for the Packers to consider moving is cornerback Keisean Nixon. Nixon was a Pro Bowler for Green Bay last season, but given that he is in the final year of his contract, it could make sense to trade him now.
ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano named Nixon as a potential player to be moved this year, adding some thought to a deal. Of course, this doesn't mean that he will be traded, but the idea could be better for the Packers.
Nixon has appeared in all 17 games for the Packers in each of the past four seasons, showing strong availability. The veteran has recorded at least one interception every season as well, showing consistency.
Last season, Nixon had 72 total tackles, one interception, and one fumble recovery for Green Bay. Nixon is a quality player who could provide any team with a nice player who can play both on defense and on special teams as a kick returner.
The Packers front office may have to make some tough decisions as the year goes on, especially if the team continues to struggle. Nixon has been an impactful player for the Packers over his tenure, but the team may want to maximize its asset before he can leave in free agency for nothing.
Only time will tell how the Green Bay front office will play things, and there is still time for the team to turn the season around. But for now, these types of questions may be asked through the trade deadline.
