Packers and Cowboys Reportedly Pull Off Win-Win Blockbuster Trade

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys have ignited the NFL offseason, reportedly finalizing a blockbuster trade that’s a win-win for both squads, sources told Yahoo Sports Tuesday. With the 2025 NFL Draft looming on April 24, GM Brian Gutekunst has once again worked his magic, turning picks into gold.

The deal? Green Bay sends its No. 23 overall pick (Round 1) and No. 198 (Round 7) to Dallas for the Cowboys’ No. 44 (Round 2), No. 76 (Round 3), and a 2026 second-rounder, per insiders. It’s a classic Gutekunst move—trading down to stockpile draft capital while Dallas leaps up to snag a coveted prospect. “Both teams got what they needed,” an NFC exec told Yahoo Sports. “Green Bay’s loading up, and Dallas is going big.”

For the Packers, it’s a haul: three picks in Rounds 2-3 (No. 44, 67 from a prior Browns trade, 76) plus a future asset. With $47 million in cap space after Josh Jacobs’ restructure (Over The Cap), Gutekunst can now target multiple needs—think a wideout to replace Christian Watson (ACL) or a pass rusher to pair with Rashan Gary. Fan buzz on X erupted: “Three picks for 23? Gutey’s a genius!” (@PackFaithful).

Dallas, meanwhile, jumps from No. 44 to No. 23, eyeing a blue-chip talent—perhaps Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan or Tennessee’s James Pearce Jr.—to bolster a roster reeling from a 2024 playoff miss. “Cowboys needed a star,” an AFC scout said. “They paid up.”

Packers Nation split on the trade-down: “Love the ammo, but we better hit!” (@LambeauRealist). With the draft at Lambeau looming, this swap sets Green Bay up to flood the roster with young guns—while Dallas swings for a game-changer. It’s a blockbuster both sides can cheer.
