The Green Bay Packers currently boast one of the most stacked wide receiver rooms in the entire NFL — and while that depth is a major asset, it’s also creating tension over playing time. For quarterback Jordan Love, though, it’s the ideal scenario as he enters a defining season that will likely dictate the team’s success.
“It’s Jordan Love time. Only one offensive player on the roster (two-time Pro Bowl guard Elgton Jenkins), and three players in total, predate the quarterback’s time with the team. He’s on a top-of-market deal, so the onus is on him to start lifting his teammates rather than the other way around. The roster’s still solid, but competitions at left tackle and receiver will help set the course for how far the team can go, and Love’s work through any bumps at those spots will be key,” SI’s Albert Breer wrote.
Among the crowded WR group, Romeo Doubs — a longtime connection for Love — has reportedly drawn attention from multiple teams around the league. Trade interest is rising.
“Several teams have called the Packers, asking about the availability of Packers WR Romeo Doubs. At least 2 teams have an offer on the table I'm told,” Packers Report’s Easton Butler wrote.
Doubs has been the subject of trade rumors since early in the offseason, and speculation grew stronger during the preseason after a summer filled with buzz around his name.
“The Packers have had plenty of drama in the receiver room. But the issues between Doubs and the Packers go beyond Josh Jacobs demanding a No. 1 receiver during Super Bowl week. At this time one year ago, Doubs was part of a stable of promising pass-catchers, but heading into Saturday’s game, he’s one of the players on Green Bay’s chopping block,” wrote Chris Schad of Dairyland Express.

Despite leading the team in receiving yards in Week 1, Doubs recorded only two catches. If Green Bay receives a compelling offer, they may choose to move on from the young receiver. While nothing is official yet, the buzz around a possible breakup is growing louder in Green Bay.
