The Green Bay Packers are actively pursuing a trade for edge rusher Josh Sweat from the Arizona Cardinals as they look to bolster their pass rush for the 2026 NFL season. This comes in the wake of the Los Angeles Rams' impending acquisition of Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. The trade for Garrett, which is not yet finalized, has raised the stakes in the NFC, prompting the Packers to seek a star pass rusher of their own. According to Easton Butler of Packer Report, discussions between the Packers and Cardinals are ongoing, but progress is hindered by issues related to draft compensation and the salary cap. Sweat, who has been absent from the Cardinals' offseason activities, allegedly requested a trade following the departure of former head coach Jonathan Gannon. Gannon, now the Packers' defensive coordinator, has a history with Sweat from their time together at the Philadelphia Eagles. While Sweat may not match Garrett's elite status, his addition would significantly enhance the Packers' defensive capabilities, addressing a critical need in Gannon's strategy.
