Packers cutting Romeo Doubs is possible if trade doesn't materialize in crowded WR depth chart

The Green Bay Packers have a lot of wide receivers.

Returners include Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks. And then they drafted Matthew Golden and Savion Williams.

Seems like somebody has to go, and it has been Doubs most often thrown into offseason trade rumors.

Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox goes a step further, though. He writes that if Doubs isn't traded, he could be released.

"Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, who are both entering a contract year, are the two most logical candidates," Knox writes. "And while one could argue that Doubs has been the more reliable of the two, he's also set to carry the bigger 2025 cap hit. Watson is coming off a torn ACL and could spend the season on injured reserve anyway, and Green Bay could save $3.4 million in cap space by cutting Doubs."

It seems more likely that the Packers will eventually find a trade taker for Doubs.

In three NFL seasons, he has 147 catches for 1,700 yards and 15 touchdowns.

They could also just hold all their wideouts and give Jordan Love more weapons than he knows what to do with.

But in the break-glass-in-case-of-emergency scenario, Doubs might find himself a free agent. Other NFL teams would surely line up to sign him then.
