Patriots propose trade for Packers WR Christian Watson

The New England Patriots are looking to improve their receiving options as they prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft. They hold the fourth pick but may not find a top wide receiver available. A proposed trade suggests acquiring Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson for a fifth-round pick. Watson, who is recovering from a torn ACL, has one year left on his contract. Watson, 25, has faced injuries but played a career-high 15 games in 2024, totaling 620 receiving yards. The trade could provide the Patriots with a needed deep threat for their second-year quarterback, Drake Maye.
