According to Tom Pelissero, the Packers are waiving veteran WR Sammy Watkins.
Some younger options have emerged for the Packers and Watkins has struggled to make much of an impact for Green Bay this season.
Watkins, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Bills back in 2014 after they traded up with the Rams to get him. Buffalo would later trade him to the Rams.
Watkins played out the final year of his four-year, $19.935 million rookie contract before agreeing to a three-year, $48 million deal that included $30 million guaranteed with the Chiefs back in 2018.
The Chiefs and Watkins agreed to a new contract that paid him $9 million for the 2020 season. He then signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Ravens last offseason before joining the Packers this past April on another one-year contract.
In 2022, Watkins has appeared in nine games for the Packers and caught 13 passes for 206 yards and no touchdowns on 22 targets.
