Packers WR Romeo Doubs?
 

First, this is absolutely wild and utterly ridiculous speculation on my part. But, as a fantasy football enthusiast, I keep up with all the league's practice reports to stay current on any relevant injury news. And this week, the Packers have listed WR Romeo Doubs as a non-participant in practice for "personal reasons". Today, it was announced that he was 'doubtful' to play this Sunday against the Rams.

Granted, a myriad of things could have happened. The reason could be family-related or mental health-related, e.g., CEH. However, neither of those is as fun to ponder as the possibility that the Chiefs and Packers are in talks to send Doubs to Kansas City, which would explain why the Packers are shelving him this week with the trade all but finalized.

Doubs is a former 4th-round pick in the 2022 draft who stands 6'2" weighing 204 lbs (Rashee is 6'1" 203lbs) and is only 24 years old. He sort of checks all the boxes as far as Veach is concerned. Here are some of his highlights from 2023:

Again, this is just absurd speculation and arguably the result of sheer boredom, but let's discuss the possibility any goddamn way!

Would love to have him. Don't think they'd move him though.

I’ll say this. This scenario is at least plausible, unlike the ridiculous notion that we would trade for Devante Adams or Tyreek Hill

I am now utterly convinced that this is happening!!!

I did my part!!!!!

Don't know about Doubs but that kinda works for me since I had to pick up and start Wicks this week. Seeing as how Rice is hurt and Amon-Ra is on bye.

Did we trade for this piece of shit yet!

Guys staylors not even done jacking off to save rices knee. Do we have the post energy?


**** YEAH WE DO

What is wrong with you guys? Does playing Madden make you do this?

what makes it plausible? Just curious, it seems like the Packers want to compete

None of these ideas are plausible. In what world would the Pack do this?

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo????????

Scrubbed all Packers stuff from his IG

He's mad because Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed jumped him.

Okay I just realized that he played in Hamlet go get him Brent!!!

The one where he's pissed and wants out!

Let's GOOOOOOOmeo

You know who has extra targets? MY FAVORITE TEAM THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!


I wish SR was here to message him.

I hope they give us a 3rd round pick to take him off their hands. They don't want to deal with this headache! Somebody do the Jedi mind trick

If staylor jacks off it’ll be a first or something. Idk. Idk how this works.

I’d gladly send them Skyy Moore and a third for RD. Preferably our own 3rd.He would eat in this offense.

Doubs had 8 targets last week, what’s he crying about?

Scrubbed his entire IG. Not one post. But Rashee Rice follows him.

Wants 9. Its me, his agent.

I-35 keeps whispering "Our Stucky's nut logs go great with wide necked Gatorade bottles."

Not coming here.

We have Ju Ju. All is well.

That trade have room for Clyde to be part of it too?

Like the skills. Don't like the attitude.

Don't think he would fit in if he already has issues with how many targets he gets per game.

Packers just suspended him from their game on Sunday.

Romeo is good but do you really want a player who places getting more targets thrown his way than the team winning? Doesn't sound like a Reid/Veech type of player.

I mean Reid kept TO and Hill reigned in. Not really worried about trading for a WR diva if it's cheap.

I dub thee a turd

I'm a Capulet not a Montague. **** Romeo.

If he's acting like that while they are winning/competing and it's known to take 2 years to learn Andy's offense, I don't know if he would get his desired targets right off the bat here.

He’d get a Super Bowl ring tho

true

Reports are that teams have called. I’d take him in a heart beat. We need a target eater. He wants targets.

I was wondering if GB might be willing to trade us one of their WRs but figured that they're on a roll so why make any moves

This guy is the perfect fit IMO.

Rookie deal. Absolutely need him this year, great depth/insurance next year.

I'd easily part with a 3rd, but would go as high as a second. BUT, the old Veach pick swap would be ideal. Give you a 2nd, we will take a 4th back or something

We need someone better, especially if Rice is out for the year.

Based on the highlight reels above, he's a solid option. Good size and quickness, plays big, appears able to play both inside and outside, willing and tough over the middle, great body control. Only thing that doesn't quite meet expectations is his catch%, just 60%. Maybe that's due to the physical catches he's been asked to make over the middle?

Other than that, he looks pretty good.

Again, if he's a body to get us through till Rice comes back, fine.


But if Rice news not good, this is not a big enough move for a team trying to win 3 SB's for the first time in NFL history.

Well yeah, obviously we'd need to bring in at least one other guy if we brought in Doubs. Actually, regardless of who we bring in (assuming that's the move) we'll probably need at least one other WR; our WR depth is just shite at this point.

He's a legit NFL WR, which is good.


But, yeah, we would need a bigger move as well at WR like Cooper or Johnson.

Even if we got Amari/Hopkins, I think we'd still need at least one other receiver, just in case any other WR gets injured down the road. So I guess Doubs would be the +1. Or should be.


I still think Veach won't do anything.

Another WR....At what point does a GM/HC say alright we are going with what we got? That would be 3 serious injuries to the WR position along with the starting RB.
We should not risk SBs in the next couple of years over a 3 peat.

LMAO


Risk SB's?


How are we doing that again?

Giving up multiple picks to get an extra WR just in case.
I don't think they make a "splash" trade anyway. I wouldn't say I like the idea of giving up multiple picks that we will need to refill the roster.

Okay. But right now we have one legit WR, and that's not 100% certain, in Worthy. And he's a rook, so he knows about 10% of the playbook. And until this week, he wasn't even in on things like the 2-minute drill or hurryup situations. So he's got A LOT of learning to do yet.

And then? The next best WR, assuming he starts actually catching passes, is JJSS, he of the gimpy knee.

And then it's Justin Watson. Who's good for something like 250-300 yds and a couple TDs.

Then it's Skyy.


So, you tell me, does that look like a SB-winning group to you? Because it doesn't to me.

We need at least one other WR just to put some minimal buffer between the real WRs and Justin Watson, imo.

If we have to give up multiple middle round picks it could/would make it tougher getting the players that they will want and need to fill holes that will be left in the off season. Veach is great but I don't think the 3 peat is worth missing the possibility of missing the SB for a year or two after the 3 peat.

Fwiw, I don't think Veach is trading for anyone. I'm just playing the game of "who do we want/what do we need."


As for next season, burn that bridge when it comes. Gotta go all-in on the threepeat until there's no shot at it, imo. Besides, next season's draft isn't supposed to be that great anyway.

I think Amari Cooper is the target. Money is right for our cap, compensation should be reasonable and Cleveland isnt going anywhere.

There are other options but none fit as well. I would love to see Deonte Johnson! I think the money is steep but he could be more than a one year rental and is a perfect fit for Andy. The Panthers suck and could use the extra pick.

Wouldnt mind D Hop but the money is Large!

No way is Devante Adams even a possibility.

The Doubs kid is interesting and Green Bay seems to be loaded at WR? The money should be no problem. Compensation after being suspended by the team doesnt give them much leverage so maybe?

I think Cooper or Doubs are realistic, the others are just out of reach.

We are about to see how bad Veach wants the 3 peat! Probably depends on how Patrick feels about the current group.

It always seems like Andy is "good with the guys in the building." He's usually not wrong.

Cooper AND Doubs. Or DHop and Doubs.

I doubt we part with any high picks and even a 1 alone doesn't "risk SB's".


Also, players can be useful more than 1 year, you're assuming a rental only.



Not saying we couldn't overpay but you're acting hysterical right now.

I like the way you're thinking!
