Projecting a trade for WR Romeo Doubs
The Tennessee Titans are entering training camp next week with a lot of competition at wide receiver. Calvin Ridley is the unquestioned No. 1 receiver. Tyler Lockett projects as a starter, and hopefully he’ll be more involved in camp than he was in OTAs and minicamp. Elsewhere, the Titans will promote position battles.
Van Jefferson, Treylon Burks, and Bryce Oliver could be options at “X” receiver if they want a veteran at the boundary spot. Rookies Elic Ayomanor, Xavier Restrepo, and Chimere Dike are also in the mix. Restrepo will fight for reps in the slot, Dike is versatile enough to play multiple positions, and Ayomanor is a traditional X.
While there’s a lot of upside in the Titans’ receiver room, there’s a lot of downside, too. Rookies are rookies, with Tennessee’s trio ranging from Day Three selections to undrafted free agents. Those rarely contribute right away. Lockett is an aging asset who didn’t physically participate in minicamp. Burks probably doesn’t make the team, and Jefferson hasn’t been effective in years.
The Bleacher Report recently wrote an article that makes eight bold predictions ahead of training camp. They have the Titans trading for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs.
“Among their five wideouts, Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson are on track to become free agents in 2026,” Moe Moton wrote. “Green Bay should look to deal one of them for draft capital, which would reduce the logjam at receiver. Because of Watson’s injury, he probably wouldn’t fetch as much as Doubs, who had a decent 2024 campaign with 46 receptions for 601 yards and four touchdowns.
“According to Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber, last season, Doubs skipped practices due to frustrations with his role in the Packers offense. Green Bay should offer Doubs to the receiver-needy Tennessee Titans.”
The Packers are loaded at the position. They drafted Matthew Golden in the first round, and already had Doubs, Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks at receiver. They also have Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave at tight end. With Doubs entering a contract year, he could be the odd man out.
Injury limited Doubs to 13 appearances last season, but he still recorded 46 receptions for 601 yards and four touchdowns. He’d likely be the Titans’ second-best receiver behind Ridley. The rebuilding Titans aren’t in the business of trading draft capital for players right now, but acquiring Doubs could be worthwhile. He’s a 25-year-old receiver who could be worth re-signing after this campaign.
