Matt LaFleur confirms suspicion about Packers wide receiver who continues to prove he deserves far more respect in 2025

The Green Bay Packers have some questions to answer at wide receiver. After all, guys like Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs are entering the final year of their deals, and since the Packers took two wide receivers in the first three rounds of the draft, it's fair to wonder what the future holds for those veterans. But that doesn't mean, by any means, that they are not useful players and positive contributors for the team.

On Thursday, head coach Matt LaFleur was clear: The team will not cut Romeo Doubs. That never made sense anyway, but especially considering how many injuries the Packers have handled at the position. Moreover, Doubs was a starter throughout training camp, playing over Jayden Reed—and that's because Doubs plays in 12 personnel as well.

At this point, even a trade—that could have been more realistic earlier this year—seems completely out of the table.

"Rome, I'd be very shocked if he ever was going anywhere. No, that will not happen," LaFleur said on the 'Up and Adams Show.' "Rome is out there competing, doing everything that we need to see from him. And obviously he's played a lot of ball for us, and at a high level. He's been a great teammate, he goes out there, and you can count on him."
