BREAKING: Packers Have Outbid Kansas City Chiefs In The Signing Of Former Super Bowl Champion CB In Free Agency

The Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2025 season with remarkably comparable expectations. Of course, Kansas City hopes to be a powerhouse in the AFC and return to the Super Bowl for the fourth consecutive season. Green Bay is coming off back-to-back playoff appearances and hopes to put everything together this season to make a run at the Super Bowl.

However, these two teams might be in business well before the season begins.

REPORT: Packers And Chiefs Set To Make Significant Trade

Currently, all signs lead to the Packers parting ways with Alexander. Though it has not been made official, that has been the anticipation throughout the offseason:

Nate Hobbs, the former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback, agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract in free agency. He will assist compensate for Alexander’s departure, although Green Bay already needed secondary help with Alexander on the roster.

Keeping that in mind, a new trade target has been proposed for the Packers.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ top trade asset, according to Pro Football Focus, is cornerback Jaylen Watson. According to David Latham of Last Word on Sports, Green Bay could be interested in acquiring Watson.

Watson would be a good fit for the Packers. He’s hardly a “star” at this stage of his career, but he can play a steady role.

In the 2024 NFL season, the 26-year-old cornerback appeared in only six games. In 2023, however, Watson appeared in 16 games and recorded 33 tackles, two sacks, and six defended passes.

Green Bay will require additional cornerback depth than it already possesses. The Packers might want that cornerback depth in the 2025 NFL Draft, but Watson could also be a good fit.

Expect to hear more rumors regarding Green Bay as the draft approaches. Gutekunst may consider making a deal if the proper opportunity arises.

This type of approach has the potential to significantly improve Green Bay’s defense. At the very least, it would give them additional options in the 2025 NFL draft. Here is a complete look at Watson’s career statistics:
