Noah Fant, Tight End

This is where the potential losses start to hurt. Noah Fant is a former first-round pick who has the talent to be a top-five tight end in the league. He hasn’t broken out in Denver yet but he certainly could in Green Bay.

The Packers are not deep at tight end and their No. 1 guy at the position, Robert Tonyan, is coming off a torn ACL that cost him much of last season.

But this loss would also hurt because having Fant with Rodgers throwing him the ball is a beautiful thought. He could easily realize his full potential and be a major force in 2022.

If the Packers were set on acquiring a tight end, the Broncos might be able to get them to consider Albert Okwuegbunam, but he has yet to really show out in Denver as well and if this trade is going to go down, the Packers are going to target premium players, not marginal ones.

To get a great player the Broncos will have to give up potentially great players. Fant has that potential but if the Broncos were to get the Packers to agree to move Rodgers, it’s quite easy to believe that Fant would wind up playing his home games at Lambeau Field in the near future.
