The New York Giants will almost certainly be looking for more pass-catching weapons for quarterback Jaxson Dart this offseason. Could wide receiver Romeo Doubs of the Green Bay Packers be an option opposite Malik Nabers?
A fourth-round pick by Green Bay in 2022, the 6-foot-2, 204-pound Doubs has 202 catches for 2,424 yards (12.0 yards per catch) and 21 touchdowns in 59 regular season games.
The Packers, with depth at wide receiver, seem unlikely to make a major push to keep Doubs, who will be 26 during the 2026 season.
“Jeremy Fowler [ESPN insider] said the door isn’t completely closed on a Doubs return, but I don’t think it’s likely,“ Justis Mosqueda of SB Nation’s Acme Packing Company told Big Blue View. ”The Packers are probably going to pay Christian Watson an extension worth north of $22 million per year this offseason and they sort of got ahead of losing Doubs last offseason when they drafted Matthew Golden in the first round and Savion Williams in the top-100. They also have Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks under contract for the upcoming season, too.
“From my understanding, Doubs’ team wanted to get the ball rolling on a Khalil Shakir-type of deal with the Packers last offseason, but Green Bay was uncomfortable with a multi-year commitment before the season, in part because of his concussions in 2024 and in part because they wanted to see how the receiver room shook out. Doubs had a concussion in Week 12 of 2024 and then went down in the Wild Card round, too.”
Mosqueda isn’t certain there is a role for Doubs with the Packers in 2026.
“Watson and Reed missed most of the beginning of this season, so Green Bay needed to hold onto Doubs in 2025. I’m not sure that’s true when Watson and Reed are healthy and Golden and Williams (who played all of last season with a foot injury and was in a walking boot when he wasn’t playing football) have another year under their belt,” he said. “I think they’d rather have a fifth-round comp pick in 2027 and the extra cap space, with how their roster is set up right now.”
Spotrac estimates Doubs’ market value at four years, $48 million, $12 million per year. Pro Football Focus estimates three years, $45 million, with $24 million guaranteed.
Doubs is a different type of receiver than Darius Slayton, the likely starter opposite Nabers at the moment. Slayton averages 15.0 yards per catch over his career, while Doubs averages 12.0.
Slayton, who has questionable hands, has a 6.3% drop rate in his career. Doubs is actually worse at 7.8%, though he had a career-best 3.5% drop rate in 2025.
“Doubs is a possession receiver, but his hands are a little weird. If the Packers had to send someone over the middle to catch a tough ball, Doubs was their guy. He caught those passes at a higher rate than their other receivers, but his hands weren’t perfect in uncontested situations, either. That’s an area where he can take a jump,” Mosqueda said.
“For the most part, the Packers played him as an outside receiver throughout the year. head coach Matt LaFleur really seems to believe that you need to be 200+ pounds to play on the outside for him, with how heavy they lean into the run on early downs. Doubs is a generally good blocker, for what it’s worth.
Mosqueda does believe Doubs can be a WR2.
“I do think that Doubs’ production can be better, if for only the reason that his next team might be throwing the ball more,” he said. “He can be a WR2, for sure. That’s sort of the role he’s played in Green Bay for the most part.”
Doubs did have the two concussions in 2024. Wearing a Guardian Cap, he did not suffer any concussions in 2025.
Is Doubs a player John Harbaugh and Joe Schoen should consider, Giants fans?
