Packers Confirm Jayden Reed Remains Top Receiver Option

May 13, 2025 – The Green Bay Packers have reaffirmed that Jayden Reed is still their primary wide receiver, despite drafting two new receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft. This statement, reported by Adam Schefter on X, addresses concerns about Reed’s role in the team’s offensive lineup.

A Commitment from Leadership

Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst met with Reed’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, last week to clarify his position. During the recent draft, the Packers selected Matthew Golden (Round 1, 23rd overall) and Savion Williams to bolster their receiving corps. However, Gutekunst emphasized that these additions will not impact Reed’s status as the team’s top receiver in their offensive strategy.

Jayden Reed’s Journey

Selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Reed has quickly established himself as a premier slot receiver. In the 2024 season, he recorded 620 receiving yards—second among second-year wide receivers—and led the league with an average of 17.2 yards per catch. He also showcased his contested-catch ability, securing 7 catches in tight coverage. Despite a drop in targets last season, Reed remains a key piece alongside quarterback Jordan Love.

Implications for the Packers

The Packers’ public commitment to Reed signals their confidence in his potential. With Reed paired with newcomers like Golden and Williams, the Packers’ offense promises to be more dynamic and unpredictable in the 2025 season. Fans can look forward to Reed continuing to shine, leading the receiving corps as the team aims for a deep run in the NFC North.

Tyler Shough’s Shocking Moment: Just One Hour After Leaving Sei Less with His Wife, He Learns a Jets Cornerback Was Shot Outside
New York What was supposed to be a peaceful weekend evening turned into a haunting memory for New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, after he learned that a shooting occurred just one hour after he and his wife had dinner at Sei Less, a popular upscale restaurant in Midtown Manhattan. During the Saints’ Bye Week, Shough and his wife visited Sei Less, a hotspot frequently visited by athletes and celebrities. Less than an hour after leaving the restaurant, news broke that New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd had been shot outside the very same location. The incident occurred shortly after 2 a.m. on Sunday, on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue. According to law enforcement sources, Boyd was shot in the abdomen after a dispute turned violent outside the restaurant. Two gunshots were fired. The gunman reportedly fled the scene in a black BMW X8, and a second silver Mercedes-Benz Maybach was also seen leaving the area shortly after. Photos taken by police also showed a Rhino GX, a luxury armored SUV worth up to $300,000, parked outside Sei Less during the aftermath. #Jets CB Kris Boyd is in critical condition after a shooting in Manhattan, per @nypost. The team is aware of the situation but has no further comment at this point. https://t.co/f9dzcY19Ip — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) November 16, 2025 The team later confirmed that Kris Boyd, a 5-foot-11 defensive back who joined the Jets in March 2025, was the victim. Boyd previously played for the Vikings, Cardinals, and Texans, and is known primarily for his work on special teams. His career stats include over 100 tackles and 1 interception. He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he is currently in critical but stable condition. Tyler Shough, visibly shaken, gave a brief statement upon hearing the news: "I felt a chill go down my spine. I honestly can’t believe something like that happened right where my wife and I had just been. An hour earlier, we were laughing, enjoying dinner. Now someone’s fighting for their life. I’m praying hard for Kris and his family. I hope he pulls through." Police have made no arrests as of now, and the investigation remains ongoing. Sources say that witnesses at the scene have not been cooperative, making it more difficult to identify the shooter.
