It seemed inevitable. The Green Bay Packers had drafted Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, and then handed Christian Watson a one-year extension. Not to mention they also have Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks under contract.
Romeo Doubs' days in Green Bay seemed numbered. If the team didn't find a trade partner before this season's deadline, they'd undoubtedly move on when his rookie contract expires next offseason.
Right? Not so fast. Matt LaFleur emphatically slammed the door shut on any trade speculation before the season began, and we're seeing why. Doubs is surprisingly playing himself into the Packers' long-term plans.
