Reed will remain the team’s “top receiver” in 2025

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jayden Reed’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, met with Green Bay Packers  general manager Brian Gutekunst last week to discuss his client’s role on the team and whether or not it had changed with the drafting of two receivers, Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, in the top 100 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft .


Per Schefter, “it will not affect Reed’s status as its top receiver,” which is only a partial truth. While Reed is the most productive receiver on the Packers’ roster, Reed is playing in a very limited role — in part because he’s often off of the field on play-action shots the team takes. Because of his limited size, Reed really only plays in the slot in 11 personnel (three-receiver) sets,  and Reed primarily feasts on zone defenses while struggling against man .

So while his role might not be changing, a part-time player is hardly the “top receiver” that most people will connote with a “WR1” at the NFL. For reference, Reed played 63 percent of the Packers’ offensive snaps in 2024 and played in seven games where he wasn’t a starter. That’s a slight increase in snaps from his rookie season of 2023, when he played 56 percent of the snaps but made 13 starts.


Clearly, Rosenhaus wanted to know if his client was at risk of losing playing time, which could hurt Reed in contract negotiations, which are allowed to begin the moment the 2025 regular season concludes. It’s safe to say that between Reed and Romeo Doubs, a player who was frustrated with his touches last season, Packers receivers are starting to get eyes for extensions before they’re even eligible to receive them. With teams like the Philadelphia Eagles  setting the pace for early extensions league-wide, the new reality is that these four-year rookie contracts are really being treated like three-year deals for representation whose clients are talented enough to receive multi-year extensions.


Beyond Reed, Rosenhaus represents running back Aaron Jones , who parted ways with the Packers in the 2024 offseason, 2024 second-round pick Javon Bullard, 2025 fifth-round pick Collin Oliver, kicker Brandon McManus and many others.

Pretty good write up ... yes it seems like Reed is extremely important, but also that they have him pegged for the slot only role and haven't used him in two WR sets.

And the article does a good job talking about how Reed kills zone coverage but struggles against man coverage, which Lions have been running more man coverage for many years now, and Vikings are doing more with their current blitz happy defensive coordinator. And with the Bears getting the former Saints defensive coordinator, they potentially could be running more man coverage too.

I like what Aaron Nagler had to say about this.
"This is interestingly worded. On first read fans might read this as Reed complaining but it seems to actually indicate Gutekunst being proactive.

Never mind the fact that Reed has apparently switched agents and this also appears to be Rosenhahus showing his new client he can move the media needle."

The entire passing offense was just off last year. Maybe a bunch of sophmore slumps? Doubs was our most consistent WR. Reed does need to see the ball more
