BREAKING: Packers handed 32 million reasons to trade Romeo Doubs before Week 1

Romeo Doubs' future has been a hot topic this offseason. The Green Bay Packers have a crowded wide receiver room, and with Doubs entering the final year of his deal, the idea of a trade makes sense.

The Packers now have another reason to trade Doubs. Well, 32.5 million reasons, to be accurate.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the New York Jets have handed star wide receiver Garrett Wilson a massive new deal worth $130 million over four years. It's an average of $32.5 million per season.

Retaining Doubs will become that much more challenging for the Packers. No, he's not going to land a deal worth $32.5 million per year, but Wilson's extension shows that the wide receiver market is soaring, and the ripple effects will reach Doubs' next contract.

Add in that Christian Watson is also an upcoming free agent, and the Packers will almost certainly lose Doubs. Trading him now is the answer.

Packers should listen to offers for Romeo Doubs before the start of the season

Several teams still need wide receiver help, including Aaron Rodgers' Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Packers have a crowded receiving room. Doubs already had to compete with Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Tucker Kraft, and Luke Musgrave for targets. Now, add rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams (and free-agent pickup Mecole Hardman, if he makes the roster). The team has also leaned heavily into its rushing attack since signing Josh Jacobs, further limiting Doubs' opportunities.

Green Bay suspended Doubs for a game last season. It was reported that Doubs was "upset with his opportunities in the passing game."

Adding three new receivers isn't exactly going to help.

While the Packers could land a future compensatory pick if Doubs finds a new team in free agency, it would depend on their own spending. Any big incoming moves could cancel out a compensatory pick for Doubs.

One way to solve that? Trade him now.

It fixes two potential problems. One, the Packers answer one question about the unclear wide receiver picture. As it stands, they may have to outright cut a talented pass-catcher. Two, they receive 2026 draft capital rather than settling for the uncertainty of a future compensatory pick.

Doubs won't get $32.5 million per year, but the wide receiver market continues to skyrocket. The Packers have invested in young talent at the position, and Watson may be the preferred choice for an extension in the next year.

A trade is the best solution for the Packers and Doubs.
