Romeo Doubs looks like he's on the move - and he could be one of the more intriguing wide receiver names to hit the open market this offseason.
After wrapping up a strong finish to the season in Green Bay, Doubs is heading into free agency with momentum on his side. And while he’s been a steady contributor for the Packers, the numbers being floated around for his next contract suggest he might be pricing himself out of Wisconsin.
The projected payday? Somewhere in the ballpark of $20 million per year.
That figure puts Doubs in the same financial neighborhood as receivers like Christian Kirk, Jerry Jeudy, and even Jakobi Meyers. It’s a tier reserved for guys who can be reliable targets and move the chains - and Doubs has quietly built a resume that fits that bill.
He didn’t always get top billing in Green Bay’s offense, but make no mistake: Doubs played a key role. Whether it was hauling in contested catches, working the sidelines, or finding soft spots in zone coverage, he showed a knack for making timely plays. And down the stretch, he was playing some of his best football - a sign that he’s trending in the right direction at just the right time.
But here’s the thing: Green Bay’s wide receiver room is crowded, and it’s only getting more competitive. With first-round pick Matthew Golden poised to take on a bigger role, plus the continued emergence of Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Savion Williams, the Packers are flush with young, affordable talent at the position. That makes it tough to justify a big-money deal for Doubs, no matter how well he’s played.
So what does that mean? Most likely, Doubs will be catching passes in a different uniform come next season.
And for teams looking to add a reliable, ascending receiver without paying top-tier WR1 money, he could be a perfect fit. He’s efficient, he’s versatile, and he’s shown he can thrive even when he’s not the focal point of an offense.
The expectation is that if Doubs lands in a system that leans more heavily on the pass - and gives him a bigger role - his production should scale up accordingly. He’s not a flashy name, but he’s the kind of player who can quietly become a quarterback’s best friend. And with the wide receiver market continuing to climb, someone’s going to bet big that Doubs is ready for that next step.
