Packers Explore Trade for Eagles' Moro Ojomo
Green Bay has looked into acquiring Philadelphia defensive tackle Moro Ojomo as injuries thin its defensive front.
Updated on Nov. 7, 2026 in Football
The Green Bay Packers explored a trade for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, according to a mock trade exercise by The Athletic. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported that Philadelphia has rejected trade inquiries for the 25-year-old.
Why it matters
Green Bay has struggled with injuries along its defensive line, making depth at tackle a pressing concern for the team. Ojomo's production suggests he could address the Packers' need for run defense.
Ojomo recorded six sacks in 2025 and has 18 pressures through eight games this season. Green Bay's defensive tackles have combined for 17 pressures, leaving the Packers trailing Philadelphia's interior production.

The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 10, 2026, the final date for any Ojomo deal to be completed.
