Jayden Reed sets record straight on his agent's meeting with Packers and what it really meant for his future in Green Bay

Earlier this month, ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Guteksunst had met with wide receiver Jayden Reed's agent Drew Rosenhaus to clarify his role and status within the offense after the team had taken two players at the position in the first three rounds of the draft.

The situation somewhat came out of nowhere, since nobody was truly discussing Reed's role, outside of his fit alongside Matthew Golden for the offense.

A couple of weeks later, Reed himself finally addressed the topic during his media availability at the Packers organized team activities (OTAs). And it was just a regular situation for everybody.

"A lot of people misinterpreted that," Reed explained. "I hired a new agent (Drew Rosenhaus), and we talked about it, before the draft even. He said that he was gonna talk to the front office and everybody here, to just catch up and make sure everybody is on the same page. As a new client, he told me what he was gonna do and he did it. Now, I don't know how it got out, because that was supposed to be confidential, but that's how it goes sometimes. People get a different perception, they make their own perception, which is okay."

After practice, head coach Matt LaFleur also talked about the situation. For LaFleur, Reed's attitude has been great all along, especially towards the younger players.

"He's been outstanding. I tell you what, it's a special group," LaFleur highlighted. "I've been really impressed with our veterans taking these guys under their wings and kind of showing them the way and really helping them, coaching them. That's one of the emphasis of this offseason, it's to try to make sure that we're developing leaders. Jayden has been instrumental."
