What happened: Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that nobody in Green Bay's organization had held a conversation about a deal involving Sweat. He described the speculation as coming “out of thin air.”
Why it matters: The clarification removes one rumored route for Green Bay to add pass-rush help entering Week 1. Trade talk had lingered after Gutekunst's denial earlier in the week.
By the numbers: Sweat recorded 12 sacks in 17 starts in 2025. He is entering the second season of a four-year, $76 million contract.
What to watch: Green Bay's Week 1 roster will clarify how it plans to allocate its edge-rushing snaps.
