The Green Bay Packers head into training camp with an exciting offense, though there's a key issue to address in the wide receiver room—a unit that will be even more crowded once Christian Watson returns from injury. The Packers’ season is full of potential, with the possibility of a truly special ending.
Rookie Matthew Golden has made it clear that Green Bay is focused on one goal.
“Definitely want to go get that [Lombardi] trophy, man,” Golden told KPRC’s Aaron Wilson. “That’s the question mark we got in our team room is just filling in that blank. That’s the last thing we need in that team room and, for us, that’s all we talk about at practice is getting that trophy.”
Golden has already made a name for himself, and if he continues to impress, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer believes the Packers might consider moving on from one of their veteran receivers.
“The Packers picked the fastest receiver in the draft, Matthew Golden, and early returns from Green Bay say the rookie’s overall athleticism has already shown up," Breer wrote. "It’ll be interesting to see whether a veteran receiver shakes free in a trade based on Golden’s development."
In a possible trade scenario, Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton projects Romeo Doubs being sent to the Titans as a reliable option behind Calvin Ridley.

“Tennessee added veteran wideouts Van Jefferson and Tyler Lockett, but neither of the two moves the needle. Since 2022, Jefferson has made a minimal impact on three different teams. Lockett's receiving numbers have declined over the past three years. Doubs can carve out a sizable role with the Titans as their No. 2 receiver behind Calvin Ridley. He has much greater potential on a squad that needs help at his position,” Moton wrote.
Ward is the early favorite to win Rookie of the Year—and for good reason. Adding Doubs could bolster Tennessee’s passing game, while also giving the Packers more flexibility for future roster decisions.
