Packers Predicted to Trade Player Who Skipped Practices to AFC South Team

The Green Bay Packers shored up their wide receiver room in the offseason when they took a wideout in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft in the form of Matthew Golden. He was the first wide receiver selected by the Packers in the first round since the early 2000s. 

Also, the Packers signed a free agent in Mecole Hardman, who has good experience operating in a high-powered offense, having played several seasons with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Meanwhile, some of the interesting holdovers in the position for the Packers are the likes of Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, who both don’t have contracts beyond the 2025 NFL season. With that, the upcoming campaign can be considered pivotal for these wide receivers, with Doubs also being mentioned in some trade rumors. 

Doubs is coming off a decent 2024 season, recording 6-1 receiving yards and four touchdowns through 13 games (12 starts). He missed a game after getting suspended by the team for missing a practice and a meeting.

Green Bay Packers’ Doubs to be traded soon?

In a piece by Moe Moton of Bleacher Report, in which he listed eight bold predictions in the NFL ahead of the 2025 training camp, Doubs was floated as a trade candidate for the Packers and the Tennessee Titans as a possible landing spot for the wideout.

Among the five wideouts, Doubs and Watson are on track to become free agents in 2026. Green Bay should look to deal one of them for draft capital, which would reduce the logjam at receiver.

Because of Watson’s injury, he probably wouldn’t fetch as much as Doubs, who had a decent 2024 campaign with 46 receptions for 601 yards and four touchdowns.
