The Green Bay Packers have not completely ruled out re-signing wide receiver Romeo Doubs, despite widespread expectations that he will move on this offseason. Although Doubs has been linked to trade possibilities since last year and openly hinted at a departure via a cryptic social media post, sources suggest conversations could still happen to explore a potential return.

Why it matters

The Packers face difficult roster and financial choices as they juggle investing in younger talent and managing salary cap constraints. Doubs' significant production in 2022 has made him an important part of the team's receiving corps, but the Packers must consider whether to keep him or shift focus to other emerging receivers.

The details

Doubs acknowledged that staying with the Packers offers the best chance to win a Super Bowl, compared to other interested teams, while affirming his openness to a reunion. However, the Packers must balance Doubs' value with the emergence of players like Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft, Dontayvion Wicks, and Savion Williams. Doubs is projected to command a market value of around $12 million annually, possibly more if bidding intensifies.

  • In the 2022 season, Doubs had 55 catches for 724 yards and six touchdowns, leading the team.
  • Doubs excelled in the playoffs with 124 yards and a touchdown in Chicago.

What they’re saying

“The Packers can try to re-sign free agent receiver Romeo Doubs and/or extend tight end Tucker Kraft, a 2027 free agent. The door isn't closed on Doubs in Green Bay. I'm expecting both sides to at least have some dialogue and see if a return makes sense.”
