Matt LaFleur just pulled off a sneaky little move, and Packers fans are probably grinning ear to ear. Mecole Hardman, the speedy wideout making waves in free agency, has landed in Green Bay on a one-year deal. And here’s the kicker, he was reportedly visiting the Bears too, so this feels like a classic case of ‘snatched right from under your nose.’ Ben Johnson might be fuming somewhere, but that’s how the game goes. Hardman’s speed and playmaking ability are exactly the kind of weapon LaFleur loves to have in his arsenal.

The Packers might not be done making moves. Rumors are swirling that they’ve got their eyes on Jaguars’ pass rusher Travon Walker. Now, before anyone gets too excited, Jacksonville isn’t exactly shopping him around. According to Walter Football’s Charlie Campbell, the Jags like Walker, but they don’t see him as a game-wrecker like Myles Garrett or Maxx Crosby. And if Walker starts eyeing that kind of paycheck? Well, the Jaguars might just listen to offers, especially if it involves a juicy package of early-round picks. Could the Packers be gearing up for a blockbuster trade?
This is a developing story. Stay tuned…
