Packers feel Sammy Watkins is “in a good place right now”

In trading Davante Adams to the Raiders in March, the Packers created a significant void at receiver.

Aside from bringing back restricted free agent Allen Lazard and drafting Christian Watson in the second round, the club also signed Sammy Watkins to a one-year, $4 million deal in April.

The No. 4 pick of the 2014 draft, Watkins spent last season with the Ravens and caught 27 passes for 394 yards with one touchdown in 13 games.

Having battled injuries throughout his career, Watkins has reached 1,000 yards just once — back in 2015.
