The Green Bay Packers have one of the deepest wide receiver rooms in the NFL. With so many players vying for limited spots on the 53-man roster, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for some to carve out a role. Rookie receiver Matthew Golden has been turning heads early in camp, and his emergence could push a veteran out via trade.<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Packers picked the fastest receiver in the draft, Matthew Golden, and early returns from Green Bay say the rookie\u2019s overall athleticism has already shown up,” Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer wrote. “It\u2019ll be interesting to see whether a veteran receiver shakes free in a trade based on Golden\u2019s development.”<\/p>\n

One name frequently mentioned in trade rumors is Romeo Doubs. Among several reported scenarios, one rumor linked him to the Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Green Bay Packers would undoubtedly love to keep Romeo Doubs and haven’t indicated any intention to trade him, but it’s time they did. Now, the perfect destination has emerged. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams is surprisingly retiring from the NFL. It’s a decision few saw coming, and it leaves the Chargers with a potential problem at wide receiver,\u201d Lombardi Ave\u2019s Freddie Boston wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n

Adding to speculation, Doubs posted a cryptic message last week that many interpreted as a sign he may be the odd man out in Green Bay.<\/a> He\u2019s also been mentioned in another potential deal\u2014this time to the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pats probably would not have to surrender that much to acquire Doubs. A fourth-round pick may actually do the trick, but perhaps the Packers would be stubborn and hold it for a third-rounder. Even still, that may not be a bad trade for the Patriots given Doubs’ talent level,\u201d Sports Illustrated\u2019s Matthew Schmidt wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n

Doubs seems to be the unfortunate candidate to be moved, though it might be a positive shift for him. A trade could offer a fresh start and more playing time\u2014something Doubs may well benefit from at this stage in his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Green Bay Packers have one of the deepest wide receiver rooms in the NFL.
