Packers 53-man roster predictions featuring a big-time RB trade - Lombardi Ave

What the report says

Lombardi Ave published a Green Bay Packers 53-man roster projection ahead of training camp, with the most notable element being a hypothetical trade for Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson. The article argues that Green Bay has a clear starter in Josh Jacobs but could need more dependable depth if MarShawn Lloyd’s health becomes an issue or if Chris Brooks is asked to handle a larger role than he has previously carried in the NFL.

The projection connects the idea to Arizona’s running back room, noting that Matt LaFleur’s brother, Mike LaFleur, is now head coach of the Cardinals. Lombardi Ave cited Arizona Sports’ Tyler Drake, who suggested Arizona could consider moving James Conner or Benson if its backs come through training camp healthy. The piece presents Benson as a strong fit for Green Bay because of his blend of power and speed, referencing his 2024 draft slot, college production after contact and 40-yard dash time.

Beyond running back, the roster forecast keeps Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor as the two quarterbacks and projects changes or tight competitions across several positions. It lists six wide receivers, including Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Savion Williams, Skyy Moore and Bo Melton, while identifying Isaiah Neyor and J. Michael Sturdivant as players to watch.

The article also frames offensive line and edge rusher as key uncertainty areas entering camp, while describing safety as one of the most settled groups. As presented, the Benson move is a prediction rather than a reported transaction, and the broader roster reflects Lombardi Ave’s assessment of Green Bay’s depth, injuries and training camp battles.
