Jerry Jeudy or Noah Fant

One of the reasons it seems Rodgers has become so unhappy in Green Bay is because of the lack  of options he has on offense. The team does have Davante Adams, but there isn’t much else in the passing game.

The Broncos have a treasure trove of young options in that department and it is likely that Green Bay would ask for either Jerry Jeudy, Noah Fant or K.J. Hamler in this trade package. There is a chance that they would settle for Tim Patrick if the Broncos provided enough options elsewhere in the deal.

It would be tough to lose one of these guys, but when you are getting an all-time great player, you have to expect to give up a lot.

If the Broncos could manage to give away Hamler in the deal rather than Jeudy or Fant, that would be preferable. Hamler still has a chance to be a great NFL player, but the other two have a much higher ceiling and could be Pro Bowlers with Rodgers throwing them the ball.

The options in the receiving game are likely what helps attract Rodgers to the Broncos as well, so you don’t want to get rid of too much here.
