Below are the Packers’ top receivers, in terms of receiving yards, and their height and weight since LaFleur took over in 2019. The play-action-based offense demands receivers who can add on as blockers on first- and second-down, which is why they have looked at size at the position. The receiver position has had some pretty significant guardrails on them since head coach Matt LaFleur has taken over as the team’s head coach. There’s a good chance Green Bay will need to look at the draft, not free agency or the trade market, to add another contributing receiver to the team. The likes of Elgton Jenkins, Robert Tonyan and Adrian Amos need new deals in the offseason. The Packers are already set to be over the cap in 2023. As it stands today, Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Sammy Watkins are going to be free agents in February, leaving just the rookies and Amari Rodgers as Green Bay’s only receivers under contract. Sure, this will probably get better when Rodgers is healthy and his rookie receivers begin developing, but the team has another problem on the horizon: 2023 free agency. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is limited in going under center due to this thumb injury, but it’s also worth noting that the Packers’ opponents are game-planning calls against certain personnel packages. The Green Bay Packers are struggling to throw the football right now.
