US EditionGreen Bay Packers Reportedly Trade for Eagles Backup Offensive Lineman Darian Kinnard
Darian Kinnard, a 25-year-old three-time Super Bowl champion, joins the Packers to address offensive line depth after training camp revealed weaknesses.
- On Sunday evening, the Green Bay Packers acquired Darian Kinnard from the Philadelphia Eagles, sending a 2027 sixth-round draft pick roughly 44 hours before the Tuesday roster-cut deadline.
- After training camp revealed depth issues, Brian Gutekunst and Luke Butkus acknowledged the Green Bay Packers offensive line was `not where we want it to be`, prompting urgent roster moves.
- Kinnard, a 2022 fifth-round pick, has college honors including two first-team All-SEC nods and a 2021 first-team All-American selection, plus three regular-season games and 71 NFL snaps.
- The Packers are banking on Darian Kinnard's championship experience and his role as a `good luck charm` to bolster depth on the right side of the offensive line for their Super Bowl aspirations.
- In a single day, Philadelphia made three trades, including reuniting with Fred Johnson and trading Darian Kinnard, to prioritize quarterback protection and offensive-line flexibility while recouping a 2027 sixth-round pick.
