Packers, Ravens Explore Major Trade Moves Ahead of 2025 Season

The Green Bay Packers are exploring a significant trade to acquire Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf, who is entering the final year of his $72 million contract. With star receiver Christian Watson sidelined until at least November 2025, Metcalf could provide a much-needed boost to the Packers' offense, though his acquisition would strain their salary cap. Analysts suggest Metcalf's trade value is high, especially since the Seahawks have a viable replacement in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens are also looking to strengthen their roster, considering Green Bay linebacker Quay Walker as a trade candidate to fill their need for talent at linebacker. Walker, who has underperformed, might thrive in a new environment, making this a mutually beneficial potential move. Both teams are focused on enhancing their playoff prospects for the upcoming season.
