Heading into the 2025 NFL campaign, the Green Bay Packers were teeming with talent at the wide receiver position. While they didn't have a true No. 1 option, they definitely were loaded with a bunch of capable, young weapons.
Unfortunately, the Packers haven't had their receiving corps all together at the same time thus far. Christian Watson was sidelined to begin the year while recovering from a torn ACL, and Jayden Reed suffered a broken collarbone back in Week 2.
Watson is now back on the field, and Reed is set to return later this season, but could the latter be playing out his final days in Green Bay?
Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon feels it's a possibility, tabbing Reed as the Packers' top trade chip for the offseason.
"They would have liked to see Lukas Van Ness pave the way for a Rashan Gary trade, but that hasn't happened, so it's doubtful we see movement on the edge. Instead, a team with plenty of options at wide receiver could opt to move on from Reed or Christian Watson, neither of whom have fully delivered but have the talent and remain young at 25 and 26, respectively," Gagnon wrote.

The Packers just signed Watson to a one-year extension through 2026, so while they theoretically could still move him, it seems like they are committing to him for at least another season.
Reed has one year remaining on his contract and is Green Bay's top receiver when healthy, but with all of the depth the Packers have at the position (especially after drafting Matthew Golden and Savion Williams), it stands to reason that Green Bay could move him.
Now, it should be noted that Romeo Doubs is headed toward free agency, so what the Packers decide to do with Doubs could ultimately determine Reed's future in the tundra.
Green Bay selected Reed in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and watched as he caught 64 passes for 793 yards and eight touchdowns during an impressive rookie campaign. Then, last year, the 25-year-old hauled in 55 receptions for 857 yards and six scores.
The problem with Reed is that he may expect to get paid like a No. 1 receiver when he really isn't, so that could push the Packers toward trying to trade him sooner rather than later.
But for now, we'll see how Reed looks when he returns from his injury here in the second half.
