The Green Bay Packers may be hesitant to trade defensive end Preston Smith, despite NFL Media's Ian Rappaport reporting that Smith is on several teams' radars. With 2.5 sacks and 14 tackles through six games, Smith has been a consistent performer for the team. His reliability and availability have earned him praise from coach Matt LaFleur, who values Smith's leadership and experience. While trading Smith could provide opportunities for younger defensive ends to grow, it would also mean sacrificing a key piece of a defense that ranks ninth in scoring.
