Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs had a solid 2025 campaign, but is expected to sign elsewhere in free agency.<\/p>\n

Doubs led the Gren Bay Packers in receptions (55) and receiving yards (724) in 2025. He tied for the team-lead in touchdown receptions (six) and also had a sensational playoff game against Chicago (eight catches, 124 yards, one TD).<\/p>\n
But Doubs \u2014 who will become an unrestricted free agent in March \u2014 almost certainly will be in a different uniform in 2026.<\/p>\n
The Packers have terrific wide receiver depth with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Savion Williams and Dontayvion Wicks. Also, don’t forget Doubs went AWOL on his team in the 2024 campaign and has had issues with concussions.<\/p>\n
So while someone will give Doubs a solid deal in free agency, it probably won’t be Green Bay.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no idea what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d Doubs said at the end of the season. \u201cNo idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truth is, Doubs has known for quite some time now.<\/p>\n
Back in September, Green Bay gave Christian Watson a one-year, $13.25 million contract extension that took his deal through 2026. As soon as the ink dried on that deal, Doubs was as good as gone.<\/p>\n
Green Bay can’t pay everybody, and with Watson, Reed, Wicks, Golden and Williams all under contract for 2026, Doubs will be the odd man out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love to be a Green Bay Packer,\u201d Doubs said Wednesday on FanDuel TV. \u201cBut I\u2019m just aware of this business. I understand how things go.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Packers certainly got plenty of bang for their buck from Doubs, who was a fourth round draft pick in 2022.<\/p>\n
Doubs had a respectable rookie season in 2022 with 42 receptions for 425 yards (10.1 average) and three touchdowns. His year was slowed, though, by a high ankle sprain that cost him five weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was doing good, but sometimes life is adversity,\u201d Doubs said. \u201cYou\u2019ve just got to find a way to come back better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doubs did just that and had a solid year in 2023, when he finished second on the team in catches (59) and yards (674) during the regular season, and tied for the team lead with eight receiving touchdowns. Doubs also ranked fourth in the NFL with seven receiving TDs in the red zone.<\/p>\n
Doubs then had a sensational postseason with 10 receptions, 234 yards and two TDs in two games. His 234 receiving yards were the seventh most in franchise history in a single postseason.<\/p>\n
Many expected Doubs to have a breakout 2024 campaign after his terrific finish to the 2023 campaign. That didn\u2019t happen, though.<\/p>\n
Doubs played in 13 games in 2024 and finished third on the Packers in both catches (46) and receiving yards (601). His touchdown receptions also slipped from eight to four.<\/p>\n
In addition, Doubs was also placed on the reserve\/suspended list and missed Green Bay\u2019s Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams after going AWOL earlier that week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one thing I\u2019ll say about it is it\u2019s a pretty isolated incident,\u201d Packers coach Matt LaFleur said after Doubs was suspended. \u201cThis has not happened with him before and I don\u2019t expect it to happen moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doubs was also inactive in Weeks 13-14 due to a concussion. He then suffered another concussion and left the Packers\u2019 Wild Card playoff loss to Philadelphia \u2014 despite wearing a guardian cap.<\/p>\n
Doubs was a good soldier in 2025 and had arguably his best season. His year was soiled, though, when he fumbled an on-side kick in a Week 16 loss at Chicago that eventually helped the Bears win the NFC North and earn the No. 2 seed in the postseason.<\/p>\n
Still, Doubs will have plenty of suitors in free agency.<\/p>\n
Spotrac projects Doubs will sign a deal in the four-year, $48 million range. Wide receiver-needy teams like Las Vegas, Pittsburgh and New Orleans could be potential landing spots for Doubs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think when his number\u2019s called upon he\u2019s delivered, and I think it\u2019s been his approach,\u201d LaFleur said of Doubs this season. \u201cIn four years, Rome has done everything the right way. I know that there was a little blip on the screen but I think that was just a one-off. And over time, he\u2019s just, he does everything the right way in regards to how he prepares, how he supports his teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barring something unforeseen, though, Doubs will have a new batch of teammates in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs had a solid 2025 campaign, but is expected to sign elsewhere…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":696462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2072],"tags":[1501,7,41,345,2514,2513,3031,701,6,428,3995],"class_list":{"0":"post-696461","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-christian-watson","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-green-bay","11":"tag-green-bay-packers","12":"tag-greenbay","13":"tag-greenbaypackers","14":"tag-matt-lafleur","15":"tag-matthew-golden","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-packers","18":"tag-romeo-doubs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115939211859699456","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=696461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/696462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=696461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=696461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=696461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
