All offseaon I heard how Green Bay had four #2 WRs and no #1. GB didn't need a #1. #1 WRs are by default divas/salary cap killers/etc. MLF said the idea of a #1 WR made him sick. Etc Etc Etc.

Yet here we are. A WR is rocking the boat due to his status in the offense. The WR in question is perceived at best as a #3/#4 guy in the WR room (nevermind the pecking order with TEs). Whether due to ball distribution, injuries, weekly scheme matchup, future contracts, something like this was bound to happen. The thing that surprises me is that happened in the middle of this season from the quiet guy. The fact that Doubs is not happy with his role going into this game just tells me that the game plan vs the Rams is going to something like Jacobs/Reed/Wicks/Kraft/Musgrave/etc.

Thinking that Watson, Doubs, Reed, Wicks, Kraft and Musgrave would have zero issues with ball distribution when all their contracts expire between 2026-27 was utterly and absolutely naive.



Romeo Doubs thoughts: Shut up and make me a focal point in the offense. Why should I wait for the ball to be thrown my way? I can play better inside and outside the numbers that Reed. For my career, I don't have the drop issues that Wicks has. I don't have the health and availability issues that Watson has. Why should I need to go to the coach and QB about my chances when I had the most receptions and yards vs Dallas and San Francisco in the playoffs last year? Haven't I already done enough to help the team the past two years that I deserve to be a focal point and the benefit of the doubt? I'm getting paid fine now, but what happens when my contract is up? I might end up sacrificing my numbers and missing out on $10-15 million in earnings. My next snap could be my last. Are you going to compensate me for my role? I am a professional! Try TREATING me like one!

Is this overly simplistic? Yes. But from Doubs perspective, he's been a professional and been a team player and now expects to be treated as such.



It was funny on Family Night listening to Rock and Larrivee talk about Jaire and how rejuvinated he looked. You got the sense that team officials were waiting to shock them with cattleprods if they mentioned Barry as a reason for Jaire's unhappiness.

He is currently on IR, but maybe we trade Doubs to Miami for DuBose and a late pick?

Packers WR Romeo Doubs plans to attend Wednesday’s practice coming out of his meeting with the team today, per source. The meeting ‘went well,’ the source added.

Christian Watson on Romeo Doubs:
"Two days isn't gonna ruin the three years of work and commitment he's put in for us. It'll definitely be a little weird right away just because it was a pretty significant situation for him."

"We all have our own individual goals, so you really never truly know what somebody's thinking and I'll never wanna talk down and on anyone's mental health. I don't really still know the exact specifics of the situation, but whenever someone's going through something, they do things that you wouldn't really expect from them"

Not in this clip but "I absolutely wish I would've handled things differently." and I am glad to read that. We all make mistakes. We must learn from them though. Maybe he has.

Romeo Doubs said wanting a bigger role had nothing to do with skipping practice.

"I had to make sure that I got the family together again. I'd say there was some things going on off the field, so as far as just the organization and just the staff, players, there's nothing going on within that area, so I just wanna make myself clear there."

Doubs said he "absolutely" wishes he would've handled last week differently.

How so?

"Stay in better communication."

Doubs said he's fine mentally.

"There’s just some things I have going on off the field. I just had to make sure that I had that under control."
