What happened: Green Bay is evaluating trade options ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline, with a move for running back Jonathan Taylor considered improbable per The New York Times. The Packers are instead exploring potential additions at tight end to bolster the offense.

Why it matters: Green Bay holds a 5-3 record and the No. 7 seed in the NFC following a 27-19 win over Carolina. Adding tight end depth addresses an offensive priority as all four NFC North clubs maintain winning records.

By the numbers: Taylor has run 148 times for 610 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2026 through 8 games. Green Bay stands at 5-3 in 2026 through 8 games, holding the seventh seed in the NFC.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline arrives Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET as Green Bay weighs potential roster moves.
