Packers Face High-Stakes Decision: Will They Secure Their Star Player or Risk Losing Him?

So here we are again, Green Bay Packers fans — stuck scratching our heads after yet another couple of lackluster showings. The Browns smothered their offense like a winter frost shutting down a field, and then the defense couldn’t muster much against Dallas, ending up in a tie that felt more like a slow burn than a battle. But amid the gloom, one name is sparking a flicker of hope: Romeo Doubs. The man who not only caught passes but also imaginations, lighting up the scoreboard with three touchdowns in a performance that screamed WR1 potential. Now, the big question: does Green Bay hold tight and extend this gem of a player, or gamble on waiting for the ailing Christian Watson and rookie Matthew Golden to step up? It’s like watching a suspense thriller unfold, except the plot twist might just hinge on whether the Packers secure Doubs before he walks out the door—or if they decide to cash in while they still can. Let’s dive into what makes him the catch that can’t be ignored.

The Green Bay Packers need to bounce back from two disappointing outings.

The Cleveland Browns’ defense shut down their offense in a Week 3 loss, and their defense failed to establish any momentum in a Week 4 tie against the Dallas Cowboys.

If there is a silver lining, it might be that Romeo Doubs made his case as a potential WR1.

With that in mind, insider Eli Berkovits urged the team to sign Doubs to a contract extension.

“Romeo Doubs is the only WR on this team who makes that catch. He must be extended,” Berkovits wrote on X.

Doubs had one of the best games of his NFL career against Dallas.

He hauled in six of eight targets for 58 receiving yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his impressive chemistry with Jordan Love.

For years, the Packers have struggled to find a go-to guy.

Christian Watson could have been that, but he’s often injured.

Rookie Matthew Golden was selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft to be their primary pass catcher, but he might need some more time to take on that role.

Doubs hasn’t always seen eye-to-eye with head coach Matt LaFleur, but he might be Green Bay’s most consistent receiver.

He’s playing the final season of his rookie contract, and while the Packers might want to see Watson and Jayden Reed return to action before making any rash decisions, a new deal could be considered before he becomes a free agent.

Otherwise, perhaps the best thing Green Bay could do is drive up his trade value and get as much as they can in return before he just walks away.
