For Green Bay, one option fills a gap, while the other changes the ceiling.

The Packers still have Micah Parsons and Lukas Van Ness, but they need another capable pass rusher if they want to try and progress in 2026.
The choice for the front office is now between patching this spot or aggressively upgrading it. Two options have been circulating in fan fiction rumor mills the past few weeks: Josh Sweat and Calais Campbell. Are either of them viable?
Maybe! Am I going to talk about them anyway? You bet!
Hey, it’s March 19th. Josh Sweat represents the high-impact route. The veteran pass rusher has reportedly requested a trade from the Arizona Cardinals, with a contract situation that makes a deal plausible before key bonuses trigger.
