Matt LaFleur would like to add veteran to complement Packers’ young WR room

There are a few positions where the Green Bay Packers could benefit from a veteran free-agent addition, but perhaps nowhere more than at wide receiver.

As of now, the Packers have only five receivers on the roster, and Romeo Doubs is the most experienced of the bunch, with 529 career snaps. Doubs, Christian Watson, Samori Toure, and Bo Melton were all rookies in 2022. Jeff Cotton, meanwhile, was a 2020 undrafted rookie with one offensive snap in his NFL career.

When meeting with reporters on Tuesday at the NFL Annual Meetings, coach Matt LaFleur discussed the need for not only more bodies in the receiver room but specifically adding a veteran presence.
