The Green Bay Packers keep getting pulled into the Josh Sweat conversation, and Kay Adams just poured gasoline on it.
With speculation already swirling around the Arizona Cardinals pass rusher, Adams used her platform to push Green Bay toward a bold move, even as the Packers continue to say they’re content with the roster they have. That hasn’t slowed down the outside noise one bit, and Adams made her case for why the front office should swing big.
“Green Bay Packers, this has to be the year. We must go all in and push it all in and really put in our blood, sweat, and tears.
Josh Sweat to the Packers, come on. This would be a huge deal, a huge step toward bringing that Lombardi back to where so many football fans across the globe want it to be,” Adams commented in her video posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The idea isn’t coming out of nowhere. If Green Bay were willing to meet Arizona’s asking price, the Cardinals could at least have a reason to listen, particularly with uncertainty around their chances of competing in 2026. That’s what keeps Sweat in the mix as a possible trade target.
There’s also the Packers’ own situation to consider. Micah Parsons is still sidelined while working back from the ACL injury he suffered against the Denver Broncos last season, and Green Bay is set to open the year without its top defensive weapon. Parsons is expected to miss at least the first four games, which gives the case for adding another proven edge rusher a little more bite.
For now, the Packers are holding steady. But with the season about to begin and their pass rush situation still unsettled, the Sweat chatter isn’t going away anytime soon.
Green Bay opens its 2026 season on September 13 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Packers Players Spark Debate With Their Night Out In Chicago
Several Packers players made the trip to Soldier Field in Chicago for Night 2 of Yes homecoming concert, taking in a show that drew 70,000 fans and featured multiple special guests. Jordan Love, Micah Parsons and Dani-Dennis Sutton were among the players who shared upbeat reactions on social media, giving the outing a little extra visibility at a time when every public appearance by prominent athletes tends to travel fast.
Yes return to touring in the United States after several years made the concert a noteworthy event on its own, and the Packers presence only added to the conversation around it. For a team whose players are already under the microscope, a night like this can quickly become more than just a night off, especially when reactions from the locker room start to circulate before the next round of football headlines takes over.

Packers May Have An Undrafted Receiver Fans Can't Ignore
J. Michael Sturdivant did enough in the preseason to make the Packers keep paying attention, and for an undrafted rookie receiver, that is no small feat. A six-catch, 112-yard game helped him turn a camp body label into a legitimate roster spot, and it came at a time when Green Bay was sorting out a receiver room that already features Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden at the top.
Sturdivant is not being asked to step in as a primary target, but his size and speed give the Packers another different look in the passing game. The expectation is that he can help stretch the field and work the sidelines, the kind of role that can matter even without a heavy target share, especially if Green Bay keeps looking for depth behind its established receivers.

Packers Pass Rush Gamble Will Get An Early Reality Check
With Micah Parsons recovering, the Packers are asking a lot from a pass rush built around youth, opportunity and projection. Lukas Van Ness and Barryn Sorrell are expected to be front and center early, and Green Bays first three weeks of the 2026 season should offer a cleaner look at how ready that group really is when the pressure starts to build.
The schedule is soft enough to give the Packers some breathing room, but it also means the evaluation could come quickly if the edge rush does not show up as hoped. If Van Ness and Sorrell struggle to make the kind of impact Green Bay wants, the front office may not wait long before exploring veteran help, with names like Josh Sweat or Maxx Crosby looming as possible fixes.
