Packers Morning Buzz: Why trading for Odell Beckham Jr. would be a 'daring' move

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with Pete Dougherty fielding a question Tuesday in his weekly live chat about former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky making a case on ESPN that Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst should explore a trade for Cleveland Browns star receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Former NFL punter Pat McAfee also was intrigued by the idea:

This was Dougherty's response:

It would be a daring move, but I'm inclined to think Gutekunst won't think Beckham is worth the trouble. He's a very talented guy, no getting around that. He's also really, really high maintenance, and I'm guessing Gutekunst doesn't want to bring that into a harmonious locker room at the trade and contract cost that it would take. He's due $14M this year, and the Packers aren't swimming in cap space. So I have a little trouble seeing the Packers making that move. Then there's the possibility that with a new team he'd want a new contract. I don't know if an R2 would get it done. I'd think not, but I'm not sure what the new regime in Cleveland thinks about him.
