Packers $49 million free agent predicted to leave Green Bay for 49ers

One of the Green Bay Packers' most important pending free agents this offseason is someone who could draw interest from the San Francisco 49ers.

That pending free agent is wide receiver Romeo Doubs, who is widely expected to be playing elsewhere in 2026 given the Packers' lack of cap space and crowded wide receivers room.

ESPN's Dan Graziano is expecting that to happen, also, and he predicts Doubs will land with the 49ers on a three-year, $49 million contract.

Here's Graziano's thoughts on Doubs:

Doubs is still 25 years old (turns 26 in April) and is viewed by teams as a receiver who can thrive in a number of different schemes. He could be the guy this year that you look at and say, "Wow, he got that much?" Doubs caught 55 passes for 724 yards and six touchdowns in 2025.

Predicted landing spot: San Francisco 49ers

The Niners find themselves in a precarious spot at wide receiver this offseason.

Not only is Brandon Aiyuk's days in San Francisco numbered, but both Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are pending free agents.

While Doubs wouldn't check the box of the No. 1 wide receiver the team needs, he would be a strong No. 2 option in the Niners' offense.

Doubs has posted 600 yards or more in each of the last three campaigns, including a career-high 724 in 2025. Making his production more impressive is the fact that the Packers have had a lot of mouths to feed in recent years.

With less competition for targets in San Francisco, Doubs could eat with the 49ers in 2026.
