ESPN’s Rob Demovsky notes that Aaron Rodgers was not mad over receivers like Sammy Watkins, Allen Lazard, or Randall Cobb. In fact, the QB has had praise for them in the past. It was towards fourth-round draw Romeo Doubs, who fumbled a pass against the Saints’ defense during Tuesday’s practice. Rodgers referred to it as his best drive of the day. Rodgers’ list is likely to include second-year wideout, Amari Rodgers.

With Adams now in Sin City, the receiver has a big question mark as the Packers march into the 2022 season. Lazard can indeed be the team’s first choice. Rookie Christian Watson is still recovering from offseason knee surgery and has yet to partake in 11-on-11 practices.
Will Packers explore free agency for Aaron Rodgers’ next WR1?
The presence of Watkins, Lazard, and Cobb is inevitable. However, with Adams out and the young WRs lacking coherence, the chances of Green Bay scouting the free agents market remain imminent. Their options are limited. But to catch up with the Super Bowl, Rodgers might make the phone call and pull up a Tom Brady to recruit a top free agent WR, Odell Beckham Jr.

OBJ and his effectiveness for the Los Angeles Rams helped them clinch a Super Bowl win. The fans regard the WR as the best offensive athlete available, and it stands without question. As the playoffs come forth in the future, the Packers will need help at wideout. It could be Beckham’s chance to emerge and play a leading role in the team’s postseason run.
