Packers trade pitch: $35M WR from Cardinals idea gains steam

It didn’t take long for the Green Bay Packers to signal they were done with the wide receiver version of “maybe later.” On Friday, Misryoum newsroom reported the franchise traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick.

And it’s not like this came out of nowhere. The Packers also moved on from Romeo Doubs earlier in the offseason, which gives the team an obvious incentive to keep shopping the wide receiver market—because depth is nice, but depth doesn’t always solve the one missing piece everyone’s talking about.

Misryoum editorial desk noted an intriguing solution has been floated: Green Bay could trade a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals for the son of a Hall of Fame ex-Indianapolis Colts wide receiver. The logic, laid out in Misryoum newsroom reporting, is pretty straightforward even if it’s a little spicy—especially for a team trying to stay competitive.

Misryoum newsroom reported that the argument centers on the Packers’ long-standing WR situation. As Vacchiano’s take was framed, Green Bay has “good depth” and “decent players,” but doesn’t have a clear No. 1. Then there’s the other half of the case: they let their best receiver go (Romeo Doubs), while only bringing in Skyy Moore. Harrison has been a disappointment with the Cardinals, the pitch goes on, but it could be tied to Arizona’s “miserable quarterback situation.”

If that sounds like a classic “change the scenery” bet—yeah, it’s kind of that. The names get swapped, the offense shifts, and suddenly the same talent looks like a different player. Misryoum analysis indicates the whole thing gets extra complicated because, while Harrison is only two years into his tenure with the Cardinals, there’s already belief he could be on the move sooner than expected. Actually, even the timing feels tense—because Green Bay doesn’t have a first-rounder again until 2028.

Still, pairing Harrison with Jordan Love is where the upside pitch really digs in. The idea is that his numbers could “soar” with the right quarterback and system. And there’s a more practical twist mixed in too: Matt LaFleur could ask Sean McVay for thoughts on why players matter more than those “pesky high picks,” then follow up by reaching out to Mike—his brother, now the coach in Arizona—to try to get a deal done. That’s the sales pitch, at least.

Harrison’s own résumé is why the debate doesn’t quiet down. Misryoum editorial team stated there have been far too many instances where he underperformed despite ample opportunities to make momentum-changing plays—an early red flag for a player many believe should reach super stardom. So far, Harrison has accumulated 1,493 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 29 career NFL games. Maybe a fresh start unlocks consistency. Maybe not.

On a recent evening outside Lambeau, you could hear the low thump of a crowd through the cold air—short bursts of excitement, then silence again when someone missed a catch. That’s kind of what this offseason feels like for Green Bay: loud about potential, unsure about results. Only time will tell if Green Bay is open to embracing the challenge of reviving Harrison’s career—especially with the roster still searching for that actual, reliable No. 1.
