Packers made run at Raiders TE Darren Waller ahead of trade deadline
The Packers stood pat at the trade deadline, much to the chagrin of their fans who wanted some action.
However, it wasn't for a lack of trying.
Sources say Green Bay made a strong run at Raiders star tight end Darren Waller, attempting to acquire the dynamic offensive weapon at the deadline. For Las Vegas, Waller was deemed too valuable to deal, especially because they just signed him to a three-year, $51 million extension on Sept. 10.
...
That was not the only big-time star the Packers were in on, as they also offered a second-round pick to the Steelers to attempt to pry Chase Claypool from them, sources say. Pittsburgh chose the second-rounder from the Bears instead, believing it would be an earlier pick.
The Packers also called on Panthers WR D.J. Moore, sources say, but it was a non-starter for a Carolina team that wanted to keep its young core together.
...
This was the second time Green Bay had made a run at Waller, with the first time coming in the offseason, according to sources with knowledge of the talks. They had discussions about him while the two organizations were in talks on the deal that eventually landed Las Vegas star receiver Davante Adams.
"The compensation for whatever players we were going after just didn't make sense," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters on Wednesday. "So I trust (Packers GM) Brian (Gutekunst). We had some good conversations. We were in on some things. It just didn't pan out."

Poor Erin and the Packers. Nobody wanted to trade with them.
Read an article this a.m. that the Pack made trade offers more so Erin thought they were making an effort to help him, they really didn't want to do anything. LOLOL.
I think we might finally have a player in Justin Fields where we don't have to worry as much about what the Packers are doing anymore - they need to be worrying about us instead.
No. You let me have this. I've been married to a Packer fan for 20 years and spent every holiday surrounded by them. I am going to lord this over them for decades!!!
Packers just beat the Cowboys in overtime helped by the Cowboys getting stiffed with an offensive holding call on a good run leaving them with 2nd and 19 followed by a non-PI call which would have been a first down when the Packer defender clearly, even in real time, arrived early.
Right up there with swamp gas, moonlight reflecting off of Venus and bullets found in pristine condition after having allegedly gone through multiple layers of bone.
