As currently constructed, the Green Bay Packers have a lot of wide receiver mouths to feed.
There may be a temporary respite, because the injury bug is going around.
But eventually, there may be too many WRs and not enough passes.
Bleacher Report's Alex Kay recognizes that problem in a new analysis and goes so far as to predict that Romeo Doubs will request a trade.
Doubs is one of five returning veterans with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Malik Heath. They signed Mecole Hardman and drafted both Matthew Golden and Savion Williams.

Watson will likely open the season on the PUP list, but it's still a crowded group.
"The most glaring trade candidate from this group is Romeo Doubs, the fourth-year receiver who is entering the final year of his rookie deal," Kay writes. "The 25-year-old has been a key part of the Green Bay offense since he was taken in the fourth round of the 2022 draft. Doubs broke out as a potential star following a 59-catch, 674-yard, eight-touchdown sophomore campaign, and he followed that up in 2024 with a solid 46-catch, 601-yard, four-touchdown stat line that would have been more impressive had he not missed four games. While the Nevada product has held an important but slightly limited role in the Packers' passing attack, he may not be too happy with the prospects of it being further diminished in 2025. It wouldn't be the first time he openly expressed unhappiness with his opportunities, either."

The Packers don't want to diminish Jordan Love's opportunity to be successful, of course. And in the highly talented NFC North, Green Bay wouldn't want to give Doubs up for no reason.
But if there's an opportunity to trade from surplus to address weakness, it might be something the Packers should really consider.
And if Doubs ends up asking out, it's best to avoid unhappiness all around.
