CBS Sports: Green Bay Packers close in to sign Broncos mega star in a blockbuster deal.

The Green Bay Packers are off to a great start in the regular season, displaying a formidable defense as well as a cunning, competent offense.

Though some are doubting the depth of the Packers’ interior line, the 2-1 team presently leads the NFL in sacks with 11 and interceptions.

Due to a toe injury, veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark has struggled to perform well early in the season.

Denver Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones was selected by Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder as the guy that Green Bay needs to add right away. But the Packers would need to trade for him to accomplish that. How much may that cost, and is the team wise to make that move? Now let’s talk.

Depending on what the Broncos would like to get in exchange for him. Given that Jones is nearing the end of his three-year, $30 million contract, Denver may be open to trading him at this time, especially if it can obtain a draft pick in exchange. A potential Day 3 pick in the future, perhaps a fifth-round pick at most, could probably pull it off.

“With Kenny Clark dealing with an injury and the rest of the group underperforming, defensive tackle has been a sore spot for the Packers to start the season,” Holder wrote.

According to Pro Football Focus, in his three games this season, 28-year-old Clark had 7 hurries in 79 pass rush snaps. It’s hardly ideal that the three-time Pro Bowl DT has received three flags.

The Packers also field DTs T.J. Slaton, Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, and Colby Wooden in addition to Clark. Holder believes Jones would make a valuable contribution to the team.

With his expertise playing a variety of alignments on the interior defensive line—from nose tackle to a 4i-technique—the Bronco would be a good addition. In light of this, Holder said, he might be a reliable depth player to turn to when someone else is having trouble.
