I don't think their as committed as you think.
Wicks is getting a 1 year 12.5 mil extension.
And he was a back-up.

With Reed approaching Fa.
It's likely he gets more than Wicks and Dobbs.

Trade and re-draft WR; is the only sensible thing to do.

Including Reed in the “core” huh?

Jayden, his agent, his mother, Gutey, MLF, Love, and whomever is coaching the WRs at this point all know this is Reed’s final season in GB if he, like Wicks, is not traded before then.

Watson will be extended unless he gets injured (yet again) and Golden will get every chance to prove worthy of being a 1st round pick.

Maybe, like Doubs, Reed will be GB’s leading receiver in his final season with the team or perhaps, like Wicks, his final season will be his least productive but 2026 will surely be his last year in GB unless Watson gets hurt.

"Make no mistake, Wicks showed flashes of the player he could be, but with his rookie contract ending, the Packers elected to do a very common Packers move by departing with him."

Usually the Packers do just the opposite, lose the player for nothing instead of trading them for some sort of return. This off-season has been very refreshing. GB had little extra cash to spend on FAs. The Packers didn't get "Stupid" by restructuring everyones contracts and blowing up the future. Gutey did a few restructures and gained some cap room. He also admitted a mistake and fired Nate Hobbs. The player acquisitions he made via trade or low cost FAs have been solid wins for strengthening the team, and gaining some veteran leadership could be a big deal for GB.

I don't think we are done moving players either or bringing in more FAs after the draft. You can't even discount Gutey from making another big move after the Parsons explosion. Who would have guessed that one? Predicting Musgrave or Reed being traded is easy, there is a new story every day on them. Maybe he shocks us again by trading for Dexter Lawrence and giving us a Top 4 D-Line for 2026. He could offer Wyatt and a 2027 pick, or Wyatt and Musgrave. Either move along with trading Wicks almost pays Lawrences salary the next 2 years.

GB is still solid at WR, we have Mathew Golden, Savion Williams and the practice squad WRs Shepard & Neyors ready to fight for playing time. That is a very talented group with great "Potential."

The TE group is still weak, especially with Kraft coming off surgery. I would trade Musgrave, multiple teams have been mentioned and the consensus return is a 5th round pick, maybe a 4th. Trade him and get a multi-talented TE who can block, catch, and not fall down when the wind gusts. There will be many good ones in the draft between #120 & #190.

As Luke says, the playing positions are relatively clear, with, as far as I can tell, players in their optimum positions.
Even without a snap being played you can tell it will be Morgan at LT, Rhyan at Center, Watson and Golden as the outside WRs and Reed in the slot.

Are there any positions that give you real doubt ? Belton at RG needs the second year jump and a whole camp at RG to get there, and Banks needs to stay healthy to be give the Packers what they hoped from him. RB Lloyd finally staying healthy could give a fine boost to the RB room. Apart from that, well its probably Musgrave's last year with the Packers, but there are numerous decent blocking TEs in this draft - and some aren't bad receivers either.

The Packers took too long to figure out the O line, but they seem to be set now.

I could go on about a backup QB, but this conversation is about starters, so I won't.

Amidst many legitimate concerns, we can have good hope that the Green Bay Packers of 2026 will compete for the Super Bowl.
We can point to the two impressive victories to begin last season. We can recall the four straight victories around the time of Thanksgiving that included a sweep of our divisional foes.
We can consider the excessively high toll of injuries including those of Reed, Kraft, Wyatt, and Parsons.
There are no guarantees for next season, of course, not even to make the playoffs.
However, it's good to have reason to believe ...
***
On offense, there's likely to be a potent passing attack with a maturing Jordan Love and the array of talented receivers as highlighted above.
While the running game is more of a question mark, we still have Jacobs, the possibility of Lloyd, and the perspective that good running backs can burst onto the scene from obscure places.
Plus, it would be good for LaFleur to focus a little more on the pass, anyway, while still using the run as a solid complement. A little more gas and a little less brake, especially at the start of the second half, right?
Another modification to be welcomed for next season is a more cohesive offensive line with more solid roles for each of the blockers. We don't have to completely reject the concept of versatility, but let's not get carried away. Also, we can lean into guys who are better at pass blocking than run blocking, while finding ways to help them succeed at both.
***
On defense, we'll be getting Parsons back to go along with returning standouts in Wyatt and Cooper and Bullard.
As for additions, my impression is that veterans in Franklin, Hargrave, and St.-Juste are excited to be with the Packers and ready to soar.
We can hope for at least a couple others already on the roster to improve, such as Van Ness and Valentine.
Also, who could forget that later this month is that perennial fount of optimism in the NFL Draft for both sides of the ball.
***
Finally, it doesn't seem unreasonable to hope that our head coach has taken all of the ups and downs of the past several seasons to heart and is ready to step up a notch or two in leading the Packers.
Matt LaFleur has already proven himself successful to a fair degree at the helm of the Packers.
Perhaps his best triumph was against the highly favored Cowboys in the playoffs in the first year of Jordan Love. It was a showcase for both of them in tandem to display their talents in lifting up the Packers.
Yet, even in that game, the Cowboys crept back to make things a little too uncomfortable.
With that example, let's hope LaFleur maxes out on the best of his past coaching efforts while minimizing what hasn't worked.
In my opinion, he can best succeed if he makes decisions based on his own understanding and instincts instead of what the book tells him to do. Whether to go for it or to play it safe, take the situation of the game into account and make the call based on personal assessment.
When in doubt, be yourself. Win or lose on your own convictions. Then, no regrets.

It is often said that you can't have too many pass rushers, but clearly you CAN have too many WRs. They all want the ball. That's their nature, if they are any good. It was an awkward situation last year, and I'm relieved that the WR room makes more sense now.

The Packers core group is capable of a long playoff run - provided that they remain relatively healthy. It's not surprising that Teams who keep their core players healthy tend to perform significantly better - with data showing that teams with the fewest injured starters averaged over 2 wins more per season than those with high injury rates. Conversely the most injured teams generally do not make the playoffs.

Last season the Packers lost 2 of their key/core players - with results to match. So now hoping that the football gods look more kindly upon the Packers this season.

As far as the Wicks trade goes, it all comes down to who you trust more as a GM: Howie Roseman, whose team has been to three SB's and won two; or Brian Gutekunst, who has yet to get his team to the Big Game.

7-10, Wicks or no Wicks.
