Darren Waller Trade Rumors: Packers, Raiders Have Engaged in Talks Ahead of NFL Draft

If the latest rumors are to be believed, the Green Bay Packers could be throwing to one of the best tight ends in the league without Davante Adams.

According to a report from Cheesehead TV, the North team is targeting Las Vegas Raiders tight endDarren Waller in trade discussions with an eye toward a deal getting done during this week's NFL draft.

While Adams is arguably the league's best wide receiver, he would be a major addition for an offense that needs pass-catchings.

If the roster remains as currently constructed, Green Bay will rely heavily on Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Sammy Watkins.

Secondary options who can take advantage of the spacing created by a No. 1 drawing double-teams are probably better suited.

When playing at his best, Waller is a No. 1 option. He was a Pro Bowler in 2020 for the second year in a row with over 1,100 receiving yards.

He appeared in just 11 games this past season but still finished with 55 catches for 665 yards and two scores.

The Georgia Tech product will be 30 years old by the end of the 2022 campaign and will be in his prime for the final two seasons of his current contract. Since the future Hall of Famer will likely be looking to spread the ball around with Adams no longer on the roster, playing with Rodgers is a great way to bolster one's numbers.

After falling short of the Super Bowl in each of its last nine playoff appearances, Green Bay is looking to take the next step and that's where Waller can help it.
