Robbie ain't happening due to salary.
The Packers could easily afford to acquire Robbie Anderson as he would only count $550K towards their cap for the rest of the season if acquired at the deadline. While the move would result in a ton of dead money for the Panthers they would still save some cap space in total compared to keeping him around in 2023 as well.
ATL - With London added and Ridley there Damiere Byrd is not seeing a ton of snaps. He'd probably just cost a 6th or maybe 7th....or maybe Gute works his magic and sends Amari plus a future 7th for him. However you're not gaining a whole lot more than a WR4 probably. Byrd in 2020 and 2021 together produced though 1500+ yards between NE (2020) and CHI (2021). There is also Bryan Edwards (who ATL sent a 5th for to Raiders for him and a conditional 7th) - rumor is that GB draft room was HIGH on him, only his injury worries held us back. He has proven that isn't a major issue Playing 16 games last year and over 800 snaps. He put up 811 yards and 16.8 yards per catch (2020 17.5) so he is a stretcher type and offers a big body catch radius. He'd be on a rookie deal yet...and given what they gave up, "cheap" I suspect. It is concerning in a top heavy room he cannot make his way to snaps though...was inactive this year twice even.
FWIW Calvin Ridley is suspended for the 2022 season. In addition your numbers are significantly off for both Byrd (who has a total of 933 receiving yards over the past two seasons) and Edwards (571 receiving yards in 2021).
Texans - I actually really like making a push for Tyler Johnson now that Cooks was signed, Metchie added and Nico Collins as well last year. He excelled in college, put a 612 yard production 2021 with Tom Brady as what the 4th option there?
You truly need to reconsider your sources, Tyler Johnson had 360 receiving yards last year.
Who I want us to target IF we feel we need an addition: Tyler Boyd Bengals - should the Bengals get to a point to do it. Tyler Boyd is not the future with Tee Higgins and Chase there. If the Bengals see there chances slipping....in large part due to their OL ineptness...what if they offer Boyd for Newman? Yosh? Boyd comes with 5 700+ yard seasons in Cinci since 2016 when he was a rookie.
Boyd has only four seasons with 700+ yards. It seems that you're taking a look at snaps played instead of receiving yards?
I'm surprised this is still a topic of conversation. It was fun to discuss in the offseason, but the Packers WRs are set. They're not making any moves. Watkins, while injury prone, is coming back. Lazard, Doubs, and Cobb are not a light it up on paper group, but they're certainly not the bottom of the barrel. Add Watkins back into the mix and it's at the very least solid. Now, do we have a true #1? Probably not, and it can be improved. It won't be this year.
I fully expect Gutekunst to make a move for a wide receiver if the current group doesn't improve until the trade deadline.
