The Green Bay Packers may seem to have their roster set for the 2025 NFL season, but they may not be done moving/adding players. Jaire Alexander, their two-time Pro Bowl cornerback, has not been physically present for the team’s voluntary workouts amid tension between himself and the front office and questions as to whether or not he will come back.
With or without Alexander, though, the Packers feel good about their cornerback room. They have holdovers Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, and they added Nate Hobbs in free agency. What is more, the team has high hopes for 2024 seventh round pick Kalen King and 2025 seventh round selection Micah Robinson.
One area, though, where they may still be looking to add talent is on the defensive line.
The Green Bay Packers Were Not Good Rushing Opposing Quarterbacks in 2024

Last season, Green Bay finished in the top ten in sacks as a team with 45. However, 15 of those (or one-third of their total) occurred in just two games. They had eight against the Indianapolis Colts early in the season and seven against the Seattle Seahawks late in the year.
As far as adding pass rushers, Green Bay took a couple in the 2025 NFL Draft. They selected Barryn Sorrell in the fourth round and Collin Oliver in the fifth. They also added interior defensive lineman Warren Brinson in the sixth round.
Their hope, though, is that the infusion of youth along with leaps made by Kingsley Enagbare and Lukas Van Ness (a former first round pick) will give some help to Pro Bowl edge rusher Rashan Gary.
However, head coach Matt LaFleur recently hinted that he would not mind adding more talent to that room, and there may be one specific player he has in mind.
Green Bay Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur May Want Trey Hendrickson
On Tuesday, Coach LaFleur was a guest on the “Up and Adams” podcast. Kay Adams, the host, is famous among Packers on social media for being the first to link Green Bay to Xavier McKinney before he signed with the team last offseason.
During his interview, LaFleur admitted that he would love to add another talented pass rusher to his team:

“Hey, if it’s up to me, we’re never turning down great players. So, yeah, I’ll be up there talking to Guety and Russ [saying] ‘Do whatever you gotta do to bring in as many good players as possible.’ I know one thing, great players make great coaches, so if you have some great players, you’re going to be a better coach because of it.”
These comments come on the heels of the Packers being named as the “best fit” for Cincinnati Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, who is seeking a trade.
Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season and finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting.
