Dani Dennis-Sutton has made one potential Packers trade deadline need disappear

Lombardi Ave argues that rookie edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton's strong emergence has eliminated the Green Bay Packers' need to target a pass rusher before the November 10 trade deadline. Despite preseason concerns and Micah Parsons missing early-season action, the Packers have produced 22 sacks. Dennis-Sutton, a fourth-round pick out of Penn State, has generated 20 quarterback pressures and ranks behind only New York Jets rookie David Bailey in sacks and quarterback hits among first-year pass rushers.

The writer notes that Green Bay's pass rush is currently on pace for 47 sacks under defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. With Parsons expected to return in November to bolster the defensive front alongside Lukas Van Ness and Brenton Cox Jr., the writer contends Dennis-Sutton's rapid development allows the Packers to focus any potential trade deadline moves on other roster positions.
