The free agent veteran wide receiver pool for the Green Bay Packers shrunk Thursday as an NFC rival added to their roster. The Packers are transitioning to quarterback Jordan Love being the full-time starter. Right now, he has a young group of rookies and second-year players to throw to.
Head coach Matt LaFleur has said he’d like to add a veteran wide receiver to the team for the fall. The Packers are using their OTAs to scope exactly what they need to bring in for training camp. As general manager Bruan Gutekunst bides his time, one wide receiver is off the market.

The Packers have all the WR’s they need. As a team they will go as far as their TE’s and RB’s carry them.
Who? In 7 years he has a whopping 2000 yards and 16 TDs. Yeah, he’s the veteran presence the Packers need to put their WR room over the top. IMO every WR on the Packers right now probably has the potential to put up better numbers than Robinson this season. Anybody remember the “veteran presence” they signed last year. I don’t otherwise I would have written his name.
