I\u2019m here to tell you, LaFleur was like Romeo Doubs is great in our building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think one of those Packers receivers is being shipped either just to make Rodgers happy, which has been an assumption online. I think the Packers are really happy with their young receiver group \u2013 and they add Matthew Golden, it\u2019s like an NBA basketball team \u2013 they are thrilled with what they\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How Does Doubs fit into the Packers\u2019 Plans For 2025<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imageio.forbes.com\/specials-images\/imageserve\/6691289986331842a30b51b7\/0x0.jpg?format=jpg&amp;height=900&amp;width=1600&amp;fit=bounds\" alt=\"The Most Important Packers: No. 10 \u2014 Romeo Doubs\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once again, it is expected that the Packers will spread the ball around to numerous pass catchers, instead of focusing on one or two elite targets.<\/p>\n<p>With first round rookie, Golden, former second round pick, Jayden Reed, Doubs, third round rookie Savion Williams, and Dontayvion Wicks, the Packers have five viable receivers vying for reps on the field \u2013 with no clear WR1.<\/p>\n<p>Doubs has struggled to put up big numbers during his time in the NFL, but has never been able to generate top-two WR production quality, having never had even a 700 yard receiving season.<\/p>\n<p>And with no Christian Watson \u2013 who will miss at least half the season with a knee injury \u2013 it is not impossible that Doubs finds himself with an extended role as the most senior member of the Packers\u2019 receiving corps heading into 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, for the right price, there is no question Doubs can be moved, but unless Pittsburgh really go to town to make their potential next quarterback \u2013 Rodgers \u2013 happy \u2013 it seems like Doubs will be remaining in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers may well be looking for a replacement for former star receiver, George Pickens, who was traded to the Cowboys on Wednesday.
