3 Former Pro Bowl Free Agent Wide Receivers Packers Can Sign Ahead of 2022 NFL Season

Julio Jones was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers yesterday, and all of a sudden, Green Bay Packers fans are looking around and wondering who Aaron Rodgers is going to throw to this season.

With the departure of All-Prop receiver Devante Adams, the Packers are left with Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, and rookie Christian Watson at the receiver position.

Despite this, Green Bay is still somehow +1000 at WynnBET Sportsbook to win Super Bowl 57, the second shortest odds in the NFC next to only Tampa Bay.

They could still certainly use some help at the position, but fear not Packers fans and bettors, there are still a few pro bowlers left on the market.

Free Agent WRs Packers Can Sign

Odell Beckham Jr.

OBJ, believe it or not, is still a free agent. The electric wide receiver won the Super Bowl with the L.A. Rams last season, but tore his ACL after scoring the opening touchdown of the game. He's had injury-riddled seasons the past couple of years, but there's no denying his talent.

He likely wouldn't be able to return to play until at least halfway through the 2022 NFL regular season, but if Aaron Rodgers can drag the Packers to a postseason position, he could give them the boost they need just in time to make a run at the Super Bowl.

T.Y. Hilton

It might surprise many to learn that Hilton remains available on the market. There are rumors that he may still re-sign with the Indianapolis Colts, but that doesn't mean the Packers can't throw their hat in the ring. He, along with OBJ, have been riddled with injuries the past couple of years, but he's proven that he can be a top receiver in the league when he's healthy.

He could immediately take over as Rodgers' No. 1 option this season.

Emmanuel Sanders

Sure, Sanders isn't a No. 1 WR anymore, but the savvy veteran has been consistent throughout his career and still put up solid numbers for the Buffalo Bills in 2021.

Rodgers would welcome a reliable target that he can trust in pressure situations, and that's exactly what Sanders is. He recorded 42 receptions and 626 receiving yards last year with Buffalo.
