Green Bay Packers WRs Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks
The Green Bay Packers have one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL in Jordan Love.
The $220 million passer has thrown for 11,535 yards, 83 touchdowns, and 31 interceptions with a 96.8 passer rating and a 27-20-1 record as the team’s starter.
They also had a strong complement of weapons around Love including running back Josh Jacobs, wide receivers Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks, plus tight end Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave.
However, Kraft is coming off a serious season-ending injury, Doubs bolted for a four-year, $68 million contract with the New England Patriots, and the team is reportedly considering trading another one of its receivers.
Packers Talking WR Trade With Multiple Teams

According to Easton Butler of Packer Report, Green Bay is fielding several calls about one of its young pass-catchers — and there are plenty of interested teams.
“Teams have been calling the #Packers about WR Dontayvion Wicks again,” Butler posted on X. “Some teams include the Bills, Raiders, Dolphins and Jets. Several others are calling, but these 4 have been the most prominent.”
Wicks isn’t the needle-mover Reed or Watson are, but he’s only 24 and could be on the verge of a breakout season with a bigger workload.
Working as the Packers’ de facto No. 3 receiver, Wicks has totaled 108 catches on 180 targets for 1,328 yards, and 11 touchdowns over the last three seasons. He was third in receptions (30) and targets (46), and fourth in receiving yards (332) on the team.
With Doubs out of the picture, trading Wicks would mean a bigger role for Golden, who the Packers took with the 23rd overall pick in last year’s draft. A 1-2-3 punch of Reed, Watson, and Golden — all of whom are 26 or younger — just might be the best young trio of WRs in the NFC.
Packers Also Looking at Another Pre-Draft Trade
While Green Bay isn’t necessarily shopping Wicks, the team seems to be open to trading him for the right price.
Given the Packers don’t have a first-round pick due to sending their 2026 and 2027 first-rounders to the Dallas Cowboys for pass-rusher Micah Parsons, the team could look to stockpile more draft capital when opportunities become available.
Green Bay has picks in Rounds 2-6 and two in Round 7, and if it can get a mid-round pick (likely in fourth-to-sixth-round range) back for Wicks, a deal just might happen.
The team also might just be looking to add players via the trade route as well, and Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski linked the Packers to a potential trade for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson to replace Malik Willis, who signed with the Miami Dolphins in free agency.
“(Colts) general manager Chris Ballard will almost certainly move Richardson at a steeply discounted price, likely a Day 3 draft pick,” Sobleski stated. “The Packers can capitalize by bringing in another underdeveloped, top-shelf athlete and let head coach Matt LaFleur and offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich get back in the lab and go to work.”
If the price for Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick back in 2023, really is a fifth-rounder or later, that’s a price the Packers can live with for the opportunity to develop him behind Love and possibly flip to another team for a future draft pick.
