Nine games, 279 offensive snaps, 13 catches, and 206 yards. That’s the stat line for wide receiver Sammy Watkins as a member of the Green Bay Packers in 2022, a less-than-stellar output for the veteran receiver who was looking to restart his career.
That’s how Watkins’ career with the Packers will end, as well. On Monday morning, NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Packers are releasing Watkins, who will be subject to the waiver system. The move comes on the day of the team’s week 15 contest against the Los Angeles Rams, one of Watkins’ former teams, on Monday Night Football.
