The Packers and Watkins agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: After visiting Green Bay earlier Thursday, Watkins will join the fifth organization of his career. The eight-year pro doesn't turn 29 until June, but he's also missed multiple games in all but two seasons so far. In his most recent stop in Baltimore last year, Watkins hauled in 27 of 49 passes for 394 yards and one touchdown in 13 appearances. With the Packers, he'll join a receiving corps in dire need of a boost after the team dealt Davante Adams to the Raiders and Marquez Valdes-Scantling moved on to the Chiefs this offseason.
Sammy Watkins Visiting the Packers
Watkins is slated to visit with the Packers on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: While Garafolo notes that no deal is imminent, a look at the Packers' wideout depth chart minus Davante Adams points to Green Bay potentially being a good fit for Watkins. The 2014 first-rounder logged a modest 27-394-1 stat line in 13 games with the Ravens last season, but when healthy the 28-year-old can be a useful passing target, and that's an area the Packers are looking to shore up as the 2022 NFL Draft approaches.
