Packers Close to Trade for 272-Yard Veteran WR to Pair With Romeo Doubs — Pending Final Talks

Green Bay, WI — The Green Bay Packers are reportedly finalizing trade discussions to acquire a veteran wide receiver with 272 yards this season, a move aimed at strengthening their offense alongside
Romeo Doubs, according to multiple league sources.
The player in question is believed to be Calvin Ridley of the Tennessee Titans, who has averaged 18.1 yards per catch
across five games in 2025. Ridley, though yet to record a touchdown this season, remains one of the NFL’s most polished route runners and deep-ball threats.
Per Josh Weil of Pro Football & Sports Network
, the framework of the trade is nearly complete:
Packers receive: WR Calvin Ridley, 2027 seventh-round pick
Titans receive: WR Malik Heath, 2026 sixth-round pick
The Packers (2-1-1) enter Week 6 ranked in the NFL’s top 10 in scoring but continue to lack a true No. 1 receiver. Tight end
Tucker Kraft currently leads the team in receptions, while injuries to Jayden Reed and inexperience from rookie Matthew Golden have left quarterback Jordan Love in need of another reliable target.
Meanwhile, the Titans, sitting at 1-4, are expected to be sellers ahead of the trade deadline. Ridley’s $28 million cap hit and age (30) make him an ideal trade piece for a rebuilding franchise.
If completed, the move would immediately upgrade Green Bay’s passing attack — giving Love a seasoned playmaker to complement Doubs and potentially reigniting Ridley’s career in a playoff-caliber environment.
