Why Veteran Receiver Stefon Diggs Would Be a Good Add for Green Bay
The Green Bay Packers have a few orders of business for this offseason, and one of them should be adding another perimeter weapon for quarterback Jordan Love. Veteran Stefon Diggs is set to hit free agency and would be a quality add for the Pack for multiple reasons.
Do the Green Bay Packers Really Need Receiver Help?
The Packers currently have a quartet of nice young receivers – namely Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, Romeo Doubs, and Jayden Reed. In addition to solid TE play, it would appear that the Packers have absolutely invested in giving Jordan Love good options to throw to.
However, the inconsistency from the overall unit leaves much to be desired. Green Bay was third in total drops last year, with Wicks and Reed having 9 each, both of which were in the top 7 worst marks in the league. Additionally, players like Doubs and Watson have suffered from consistent injury problems already in their young careers.
Despite the Packers depth, they do lack consistency in the pecking order. Watson and Doubs in particular have both shown WR1 chops at times, but neither are close to being on that level long-term. Love has expressed that the lack of having a true 1 is not an issue, and while not every team is going to be able to have one of the best wideouts in the game, it would certainly help to have a reliable, experienced option.
The Case for Stefon Diggs in Green Bay
There are plenty of Packer fans dreaming of a massive trade for Seattle Seahawks star DK Metcalf, coughing up a ton of cash for Bengals free agent Tee Higgins, or bringing in a veteran like Chris Godwin. However, what might be the best move for the team is Stefon Diggs.
