It’s a packers article but interesting.

The Jaguars could be looking to deal Shenault after signing Christian Kirk and Zay Jones in free agency. Kirk is primarily a slot receiver. The team also added tight end Evan Engram, who operates mostly from the slot. It’s going to be difficult to incorporate Shenault into the offense now developing in Jacksonville.

While miscast with the Jaguars, Shenault could be a fun fit with Matt LaFleur and the Packers.

In the Deebo Samuel mold, he’s part receiver and part gadget weapon. Samuel is a one-of-one type player, but Shenault moves and operates in similar ways and could be used by LaFleur as a versatile weapon out wide, in the slot and in the backfield. He’s a player that can create yards and chunk plays with the ball in his hands in space. It will take a creative play-designer and play-caller to maximize Shenault’s potential, and LaFleur has exactly the blueprint in what good friend Kyle Shanahan has done with Samuel.

The 42nd overall pick in the 2020 draft has 150 career touches (121 catches, 29 rushes) gaining 1,351 yards and five touchdowns. Injuries haven’t been much of a factor; he’s missed only three games in two seasons.

Shenault doesn’t turn 24 until October and could provide a big dose of talent, versatility and playmaking ability to a receiver room that needs all three.

It’s hard to imagine a deal involing Shenault or Parker to cost more than a Day 3 pick. Both are stuck in crowded position groups with high-cost investments ahead of them.
