Packers eye potential trade for cornerback Denzel Ward ahead of season
Summary

The Green Bay Packers may seek a trade for cornerback Denzel Ward as they prepare for the 2026 season. With the Cleveland Browns in a rebuilding phase, Ward could be available, especially as he is entering his age-29 season. After a struggling 2025 for the Packers’ secondary, GM Brian Gutekunst may pursue Ward to bolster their defense, which is crucial as they attempt to overcome challenges in the tough NFC North. Ward, a five-time Pro Bowler, is under contract through 2027, making him a significant addition for the Packers.
