Only one full season has passed since the Green Bay Packers traded away Aaron Rodgers, and they already have a shot at capturing the Super Bowl.  There is no doubt that the Green Bay Packers performed like one of the hottest teams in the league during the latter half of the 2023 season, and they are hoping to carry that success into the 2024 season.

Those odds could sky rocket if a 25-year-old super star joins the team.

The Green Bay Packers Have One Of The Best Odds To Acquire 25-Year-Old Super Star

Journalist Jordan Wilson recently reported on the Packers’ odds to acquire star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb from the Dallas Cowboys:

According to the latest next-team odds from sportsbetting.ag, the Packers are among the teams favored to land Cowboys superstar CeeDee Lamb for the 2024 season should Dallas move to trade him instead of signing him to the contract extension he is seeking.

The Kansas City Chiefs (+500) are getting the best odds as of August 13 ahead of the Detroit Lions (+600) and Pittsburgh Steelers (+600).

Surprisingly, though, the Packers (+700) are close in the hunt and receiving the same odds as the New England Patriots (+700) — a team who recently tried to trade for San Francisco receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

Of course, there are a few problems with the possibility of a trade for Lamb, starting with the fact that Lamb has not formally requested a trade from the Cowboys despite him continuing to hold out from camp. Things can change quickly if the two sides fail to work out a new deal, but a potential Lamb departure does not seem imminent.

The Packers going after a super star wide receiver that (likely) wants to be the highest paid wide receiver in NFL history is unlikely, and fans noted that on social media:
