Veteran WR Sammy Watkins is in Green Bay today for a visit with the #Packers, per @MikeGarafolo. Potential receiver help for Aaron Rodgers. Watkins spent last season in Baltimore.

This is massive people. We now have a WR who was drafted in the 1st round. SUPER BOWL!!!

BREAKING: @AaronRodgers12 talked to Sammy Watkins last night and said he is "excited about the signing & can't wait to get to work"

Well, here's hoping he can stay healthy

Is he washed up though? I hope they still look for some help in the draft. Sooner rather than later.

I can only imagine this impacting the draft if the Packers already drafted 1 WR and then they have a WR and another guy at a different position equally graded, they might then lean towards the latter because they got the veteran WR in the building. That's a big IF and really doubt it would even come to that.

This really just feels like a depth signing. I wouldn't be surprised if they sign another veteran WR.

Good signing by Gute. Changes nothing in the draft. Gute will still draft multiple WRs.

LaFleur and Rodgers both "excited" about Sammy Watkins. LaFleur was OC with the Rams in 2017 when Sammy was there. Averaged 15 yards a catch and 8 TDs with Goff as his QB.

The first of many WRs added to the room.

I'm thinking this just means the Packers probably aren't going to draft 3 WRs, so probably only two now. Unless they think they might be able to sneak a guy to the PS.

Packers normally keep 6 WRs and the 6th one is normally more of a STer than WR.

Packers already got Lazard, Cobb, Rodgers and now Watkins, whom probably aren't going anywhere, this just leaves two WR spots.

Should be fun!

#10

Sammy Watkins will wear #11 for the Pack. I guess it's 1+1=2 for his number at Clemson. 14 is retired.

I like this signing the more I think about it. Sammy has something to prove and is still only 28(29 in June)

Fits well in LaFleur's offense.
