2. Green Bay Packers: Sam Shields, CB

Shields is Green Bay’s best corner, but if one of Green Bay’s defensive backs were to be traded, it would be Shields. The Packers have a very nice young core of corners with Damarious Randall, Quinten Rollins and LaDarius Gunter. Shields is the odd man out of that group being 28.

Randall and Rollins were a great cornerback duo when Shields went down last season, and Green Bay is very high on Gunter. Randall even had a better season than Shields with 53 total tackles and three interceptions, while Shields had 37 total tackles with three interceptions. But, Shields was hurt for three games in the regular season.

The Green Bay defensive back would be a great veteran to pair across from Revis. The Jets elite defense would benefit from a player like Shields, while Wilkerson could be the player that surges Green Bay to a championship run for the 2016 season.
