Matt LaFleur makes a controversial statement and it causing serious issue sadly he can’t take them back
The Green Bay Packers exceeded expectations in 2023, coming within a win of advancing to the NFC Championship Game. Expectations are high heading into the 2024 campaign, but the team will need to see improvement from several players if it wants to take the next step.
With that in mind, here are three Packers on the hottest seats.
A second-round pick in 2022, Watson was supposed to be quarterback Jordan Love’s No. 1 target this past season. Instead, after a promising rookie year, he had a disappointing season, finishing with 28 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns.
A nagging hamstring injury cut his season to just nine games, but another short season might have the Packers looking elsewhere.
The Packers are undoubtedly hopeful that Watson can be a significant part of the team’s offense this season. However, if they can’t depend on him, plenty of options are ready to take his reps, including Dontayvion Wicks, Romeo Doubs and Green Bay’s leading receiver, Jayden Reed (64 catches, 793 yards, eight TDs).
A shoulder injury and one-game suspension limited Alexander to only seven contests during the regular season before he returned for the Packers’ playoff run. However, when he was on the field, the former All-Pro looked like a shell of his former self.
When it comes to players needing to prove they can stay healthy, Stokes might be at the top of the list. After staying healthy during his time at Georgia, the Packers first-round pick in 2021 hasn’t had the same luck in Green Bay.
