The Green Bay Packers have expended significant resources at wide receiver in recent seasons, creating a logjam at the position as the 2025 campaign approaches.
Just this offseason, alone, the Packers chose Matthew Golden in the first round and Savion Williams in the third round of the NFL Draft, after signing veteran Mecole Hardman and dropping them into a receiver room that already includes Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs.
While injuries have besieged the Packers’ receiving corps in training camp, which could alleviate some of the pressure on the organization to make a move, trading away at least one of the receivers on the roster could help plug some other holes and create depth.
Could Packers’ Romeo Doubs be Next NFL Star to Request a Trade?
If the Packers are looking to make a trade offloading one of their young receivers, at least one NFL analyst believes Romeo Doubs could make things easier on general manager Brian Gutekunst.
“The most glaring trade candidate from this group is Romeo Doubs,” Alex Kay writes for Bleacher Report. “The fourth-year receiver who is entering the final year of his rookie deal … Although he’s only earning a base salary of $3.4 million this season, obliging a potential trade request would help Green Bay’s brass out in several ways.
“Moving Doubs would not only free up a roster spot, but it would also help bring clarity to the team’s pass-catching pecking order and potentially return even more draft capital than the Packers would receive via the NFL’s compensatory pick formula for departing free agents.”
