Jets Projected to Trade for 1,700-Yard Weapon

The New York Jets have employed their fair share of former Green Bay Packers over the past two seasons, and primarily on offense. Of course, that’s largely been to please former quarterback Aaron Rodgers, adding all of his friends, such as Davante Adams, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb.

Yet, with all of those receiving options that have cycled through the Packers to Jets pipeline, the Jets could still add one more. The Packers drafted receivers in the first and third rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft and have three receivers under contract for 2026, which means someone has to be the odd man out.

Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay predicts that man is Romeo Doubs, who in his three-year NFL career has caught 147 passes for 1,700 yards and 15 touchdowns. Kay predicts that the Jets will swing a trade for Doubs, continuing on the trend.

“(Matthew) Golden and (Savion) Williams are joining a receiving corps already brimming with young talent. All of quarterback Jordan Love’s top weapons from last season are set to return, including leading pass-catcher Jayden Reed, the promising but injury-prone Christian Watson (who is making his way back from a Week 18 ACL tear) and consistent No. 2 receiver Romeo Doubs.

With other talents such as Dontayvion Wicks and veteran free-agent pickup Mecole Hardman also in the mix, Doubs appears to be a prime trade candidate this offseason.” Wrote Kay.

For the Packers, it makes a lot of sense, Doubs will be in a tough competition with a lot of players who may have more upside.

“The 2022 fourth-round pick has been steady but unspectacular over his first three professional campaigns. He’s appeared in 43 games in that span—starting 35—and has 147 receptions on 235 targets for 1,700 yards and 15 touchdowns. While there’s still a chance he takes a leap going into his fourth season, it’s unlikely to occur in Green Bay.

Rather than further reduce Doubs’ already slim number of looks—he was a distant fifth in Packers targets in 2024—before allowing him to hit free agency when his rookie deal expires after the season, the team should be proactive and deal him to a team in need of receiving weapons.”
