Packers signing Sammy Watkins to reported 1-year deal

The Green Bay Packers are signing wideout Sammy Watkins, the team announced Thursday.

The two sides agreed on a one-year deal worth up to $4 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Watkins spent the 2021 season with the Baltimore Ravens, recording 27 receptions for 394 yards in 13 contests.

The 28-year-old joins his fifth NFL club since being a first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2014. He also spent time with the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs.

Watkins was a reliable weapon for the Chiefs from 2018-20, racking up 129 receptions for 1,613 yards and eight touchdowns. He was also a contributing member of the Super Bowl LIV roster.

The veteran's arrival provides much-needed depth at receiver for Green Bay following the offseason departures of Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Watkins joins a group that features Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb among the pass-catching options for reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers.
