Green Bay Packers Trade Defensive Tackle Kenny Clark

The Green Bay Packers traded defensive tackle Kenny Clark, thinking his best days were behind him.

What happened to Kenny Clark?

Kenny Clark got top-ten votes in a recent ESPN poll, while no Packers players did.

He improved from one sack to three and from four tackles for loss to six.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN conducted the poll, ranking the top ten players at each position.

How did the Packers' defensive tackles perform?

The Packers' defensive tackle group was a disappointment last year, with Colby Wooden being traded to the Indianapolis Colts.

Karl Brooks and Devonte Wyatt are still with the team, but their performance has been underwhelming.

Brooks dropped from four sacks in 2023 to 3.5 sacks in 2024 and then just half a sack a season ago.

What's next for the Green Bay Packers?

The Packers signed Javon Hargrave in free agency and drafted Chris McClellan, adding new faces to the front.

They will face the Minnesota Vikings on September 13, 2026, looking to improve their 9-7-1 record.

And with Micah Parsons on the field, the Packers have a chance to turn their season around.

But if Parsons gets injured, the team's decision to trade Clark might come back to haunt them.

The Packers are currently on a L4 streak, and they need to bounce back soon.

So they will rely on their young talent to step up and fill the gap left by Clark.

Devonte Wyatt, a former first-round pick, is expected to be fully healthy and make an impact.

He had 5.5 sacks in 2023 and five sacks in 2024, but his season was cut short due to a broken fibula.

The Packers need Wyatt to take a step forward and become a top ten lineman.
