JUST IN: Tim Terry Sends $86 Million Offer for Packers’ Preseason Hero Right After Colts Game — Brian Gutekunst Responds: “He’s Not for Sale”

Green Bay, WI — Minutes after the Packers’ comeback win over the Colts, Kansas City moved fast. Chiefs VP of Player Personnel Tim Terry — a former long-time Packers personnel executive — reportedly floated a four-year, $86 million trade-and-extend framework to pry away Green Bay’s preseason hero, Tyron Herring.

League sources described the approach as an aggressive, “trade-and-extend” concept: premium draft capital attached to a ready-made extension, aimed at landing the rookie defensive back who sealed Green Bay’s 23–19 victory with a last-second, 4th-and-10 ball-jarring hit.

The Packers’ response was immediate — and emphatic. GM Brian Gutekunst shut the door with a down-to-earth message that left little room for interpretation:

“He’s not for sale. I know what you’re thinking, Tim — you’ve still got the same sharp eye as ever. But after Tyron’s hero moment, and seeing the fire in him when he puts on the green and gold, I see the future of the Packers in that kid — and that future is staying in Green Bay.”

Why the Chiefs Pushed Now

  • Instant impact profile: A fearless closer in high-leverage snaps who can play teams, nickel/dime, and pressure packages.

  • Culture fit: Kansas City prizes competitive versatility and finishers — the exact traits Herring flashed against Indy.

  • Why the Packers Said No

    • Identity over inventory: Green Bay views that game-saving play as a cultural marker for their 2025 defense.

  • Depth chart symmetry: With youth investments up front, a cost-controlled back-end playmaker balances the roster build.

  • Locker-room message: Reward the DNA you want repeated — don’t flip it for picks the morning after it shows up on tape.

  • For now, Kansas City’s gambit appears rebuffed. And in Green Bay, the takeaway is simple: the player who just authored the preseason’s defining moment isn’t a trade chip — he’s part of the plan.

    Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
    Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
