Packers rumors: Matthew Golden’s ‘early returns’ lead to trade speculation

The Green Bay Packers stunned fans by deciding to select a wide receiver in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, as it was the first time since 2002 that the team had invested a first-round selection on the position. The player they wound up with is Matthew Golden, and according to a recent report, his arrival in the wide receiver room could result in the Packers making a trade.

Golden is a blazing fast wide receiver from the Texas Longhorns who showed off his potential in 2024, hauling in 58 passes for 987 yards and nine touchdowns.
