Saints Getting Buzz as Landing Spot for Intriguing Packers WR

Saints Emerging as Potential Fit for Packers WR Romeo Doubs

The New Orleans Saints were in rough shape at this point last year, but a highly effective offseason changed the outlook of the franchise. They secured a cornerstone offensive tackle in the first round of the NFL Draft and found their potential franchise quarterback in the second. While the signing of Chase Young drew criticism initially, the backlash faded once he returned to form and made a major impact on the field.

This offseason will require a similar level of productivity. The Saints must address uncertainty at running back as Alvin Kamara continues to age, reinforce multiple areas of their defense, and most importantly, identify a dependable No. 2 wide receiver to complement Chris Olave.

Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine recently outlined ideal free-agent fits for every NFL team, naming Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs as a dream target for New Orleans.

According to Ballentine, Doubs should seek an opportunity where he can take on a larger role, and the Saints need a steady secondary option opposite Olave — making the pairing a natural fit. While Doubs may not be an explosive, highlight-reel receiver, he has proven to be a reliable downfield threat who consistently wins contested catches despite not possessing imposing size. His skill set could provide quarterback Tyler Shough with another trustworthy weapon in an offense that needs stability.

Landing Doubs would represent an ideal balance of cost and production for New Orleans. He may not be a household name, but he showcased significant big-play potential late in the season. With Shough’s strong arm, Doubs’ ability to stretch the field could be maximized.

Placing a polished route-runner like Doubs alongside Olave would benefit both players. Their versatility to line up outside or in the slot would add flexibility and unpredictability to the Saints’ offense.

If New Orleans is serious about accelerating Shough’s development and strengthening its long-term outlook, pursuing Doubs could be a smart and strategic move.
