He left the Philadelphia Eagles to reunite with Jonathan Gannon, the former Cardinals&#8217; head coach who&#8217;s now the Packers&#8217; defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Matt LaFleur, Mike&#8217;s brother, is the Packers&#8217; head coach, so there&#8217;s clearly a direct line of communication there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Packers could certainly use another headhunter for their defense.<\/p>\n<p>Kingsley Enagbare and Rashan Gary are no longer on the team, and rookie Dani Dennis-Sutton might need some time before being ready to make an impact, given how patient the Packers are usually with their rookies.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves Micah Parsons and Javon Hargrave as the only bona fide pass rushers in Lambeau Field.<\/p>\n<p>Sweat would give them another option to start opposite Parsons, as Lukas Van Ness has left plenty to be desired since he entered the league as a first-round pick.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s more than familiar with Gannon&#8217;s defense, and this looks like an easy solution for all parties involved.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n    !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n    {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n    n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n    if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n    n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n    t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n    fbq('init', '1324276914788316');\n    fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/nfl\/articles\/josh_sweat_has_a_no_brainer_trade_destination\/s1_13132_43863989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There might be trouble brewing with the Arizona Cardinals.
