Packers Adopt 'The More the Merrier' Strategy, Add WR to Already Crowded Receiver Room

Green Bay, WI – May 30, 2025

The Green Bay Packers are embracing a “the more the merrier” strategy, adding yet another wide receiver to an already crowded room, sources told ESPN. The move promises to heighten competition for the 2025 season.

The Packers’ receiver room boasts three returning veterans from 2024: Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Christian Watson (slated for a Week 1 return). Romeo Doubs, another veteran, was traded to the Patriots last week.

Green Bay further bolstered their talent through the draft, selecting Matthew Golden (Round 1) and Savion Williams (Round 3). Both rookies have impressed at OTAs, particularly Golden with his 4.29-second 40-yard speed, per Packers Wire.

Immediately post-draft, the Packers signed Jadon Janke as an undrafted free agent. Now, they’ve added another name: Sam Brown Jr., who joins the 90-man roster for training camp, ESPN reports.

Brown, 24, recorded 509 yards at Miami in 2024, after a 2023 season at Houston with 815 yards and 62 catches. He’ll wear No. 17—Davante Adams’ iconic number with the Packers.

GM Brian Gutekunst’s strategy aims to spark fierce competition in a receiver room where only 5-6 spots may make the final roster. With $22 million in cap space, the Packers are prioritizing affordable depth, per Spotrac.

Fans on X are split: “So many WRs, Love will have options galore!” one tweeted. “But can Brown even make the cut?” another questioned, doubting his chances in a stacked group.

As OTAs progress, Cheeseheads hope this crowded receiver room will elevate the Packers’ offense, providing quarterback Jordan Love with a dynamic arsenal for the 2025 season

Josh Allen Named AFC Offensive Player of the Week After Insane Week 14 Comeback vs Bengals
For the THIRD time in 2025 and the 18th time in his legendary career, Josh Allen has been crowned AFC Offensive Player of the Week – putting him just behind Tom Brady for the most all-time. What he did to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday wasn’t football… it was a superhero movie. Stats that don’t even sound real: 22/28 (78.6%) – 251 passing yards – 3 passing TDs 9 carries – 78 rushing yards – 1 rushing TD (including a 40-yard sprint for the ages) → 4 total TDs, zero turnovers, and a perfect passer rating in the 4th quarter. The Moments That Broke the Internet Down 11 in the 2nd quarter, 4th-and-4 from the 11-yard line Josh Allen escapes pressure, rolls left, and throws an absolute DIME across his body to Khalil Shakir backing into the end zone. Then hits Dawson Knox for the 2-point conversion. Sean McDermott’s one-word reaction on Monday? “Audacity.” Bengals just took a two-possession lead in the 4th Allen needs only 1:11 to march 75 yards and scores himself on a 40-yard touchdown run – the longest rushing TD by a Bill in regular-season history. Game on the line, 3rd-and-15 with 1:54 left Instead of punting, Josh scrambles for the first down, takes a knee twice, and ends the game. Ballgame. History Made (Again) 11th career game with 3+ passing TDs + 1+ rushing TD → most in NFL history (only player with 10+) First player ever with 20+ pass TDs & 10+ rush TDs in three separate seasons First player ever with multiple games of 250+ pass yds, 75+ rush yds, 3+ pass TDs, 1+ rush TD 50th career game with at least 1 passing + 1 rushing TD → extends his own NFL record Josh Allen didn’t just beat the Bengals – he reminded the entire league why he’s the 2025 MVP front-runner. Bills Mafia, is this the best single-game performance of Josh’s career? Sound off in the comments!
