The Green Bay Packers are heading into the 2026 offseason with a clear understanding of where they stand: close, but not quite there. After a promising 2025 campaign that saw them emerge as one of the NFC’s more dynamic squads, their season came to a sudden halt in the Wild Card round. A 21-3 halftime lead against the rival Chicago Bears slipped away, and with it, so did their postseason hopes.
Now, the front office-led by general manager Brian Gutekunst-faces a critical offseason. The foundation is strong.
Jordan Love has shown he can lead this team. The defense, when healthy, has bite.
The skill positions are brimming with young talent. But if Green Bay wants to take that next step toward a Super Bowl run, they’ll need to shore up depth and make a few key moves in free agency.
One of the biggest decisions on the table? The future of wide receiver Romeo Doubs.
Doubs has quietly developed into one of Jordan Love’s most trusted targets. He’s not just a complementary piece-he’s become a reliable playmaker in crunch time, a guy who can move the chains and stretch the field when called upon.
In 2025, Doubs appeared in 16 regular season games, hauling in 55 catches for 724 yards and six touchdowns. Solid numbers, especially when you consider the revolving door of injuries Green Bay dealt with across the offense.
Over his first four seasons in the league, all with the Packers, Doubs has racked up 202 receptions, 2,424 yards, and 21 touchdowns. That kind of production doesn’t go unnoticed-especially not in a league where dependable wideouts are at a premium.
And now, with Doubs set to hit the open market, the buzz is already building.
According to a recent prediction by Fox Sports analyst Greg Auman, the Philadelphia Eagles are a potential landing spot for Doubs. That’s not just a tough loss for Green Bay-it’s a potential nightmare scenario. Doubs landing with another NFC contender, especially one as loaded and well-coached as Philly, would mean the Packers could see him again sooner than they’d like-and under far less favorable circumstances.
Of course, Green Bay still has the option to bring him back. The receiver room is young and talented, with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden, and Savion Williams all showing flashes. But Doubs brings something different: chemistry with Love, experience in the system, and a proven track record in big moments.
Letting him walk would be a calculated risk. The front office has to weigh the cost of re-signing him against the upside of continuing to develop their younger receivers. But if the goal is to contend now-and all signs point to that being the case-then keeping a reliable weapon like Doubs in the fold could be worth the investment.
The offseason is just getting started, and the Packers’ path forward is far from set. But one thing’s clear: losing Romeo Doubs, especially to a team like the Eagles, would sting. And if Green Bay wants to avoid watching one of their own help another NFC team make a deep playoff run, they’ll need to act decisively-and soon.
