Trade Report!

Packers Receive:
Pioneers 1st Round Pick
Pioneers 2nd Round Pick
Bears 5th Round Pick
DT Joe Upshaw (86 overall, 29 years old)

Bears Receive:
DT Red Bryant (91 overall, 33 years old)
DE Everson Griffen (90 overall, 25 years old)

Packers incur a cap penalty of $3.13 next year but gain immediate cap relief in $9.23 mil
Bears incur a $1.75 cap penalty next year while the Bears end up with about $1 million left in cap space

Not happy with their 2-4 start, the Packers have decided to waive the white flag and get a jump start on rebuilding the team by acquiring cap relief, two early picks, and a good DT still in his 20s to replace Bryant.

The Bears are eyeing a wild card spot and armed with extra draft picks, they went for one of the best DTs in the game in Red Bryant and perhaps more importantly, a young DE who has had double digit sacks in each of his first three seasons.

Both teams understood the trade parameters, what each team hoped to gain from the trade, and the financial implications. It took some work, but presumably both parties also understand the histories of all players involved.

This trade has been approved and is effective immediately.
