Jayden Reed Willing to Take a Pay Cut to Stay in Green Bay — Packers’ Response Leaves Fans Stunned


Posted November 1, 2025

Green Bay, Wisconsin – November 1, 2025

The trade chatter swirling around Lambeau Field has sent shockwaves through Titletown. Reports surfaced that the Green Bay Packers were exploring a deal that would send wide receiver Jayden Reed to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick. The news hit the locker room hard — but Reed’s reaction left everyone speechless.

According to team insiders, the moment Reed found out he was part of potential trade discussions, he requested a meeting with management to make one thing clear: he wants to stay in Green Bay — no matter what it takes.

In an emotional exchange after Wednesday’s practice, Reed opened up about his commitment to the team.

“I get it — this is a business, and the NFL can be ruthless. But the Packers are family. I’ve grown here with Coach LaFleur, with Jordan (Love), and with my teammates. I still have a lot to prove. If it means taking a pay cut, I’m willing. I just want to keep wearing green and gold and fighting for this team.”

His words spread across social media like wildfire. Within hours, hashtags like #KeepReedInGB, #GoPackGo, and #Titletown were trending, as fans flooded comment sections to show their support for the 25-year-old receiver whose explosive playstyle and relentless energy have made him a fan favorite.

Reed, currently on injured reserve following surgeries on a broken clavicle and a Jones fracture in his left foot, has reportedly started light field work. Sources close to the team suggest a mid-November return is possible if his rehab continues on schedule.

As speculation continued to swirl, the Packers’ front office released a short but telling statement that only deepened the intrigue:

“We value everything Jayden brings — both on the field and in the locker room. Any decisions about the future will be made in the best interests of both the team and the player.”

What happens next remains uncertain. But one thing is clear — Jayden Reed’s heart is still in Green Bay, and his willingness to sacrifice for the team reminds everyone why the Packers’ culture stands apart.

Because even in the middle of trade rumors, loyalty still runs deep in Titletown.

The Moment He Was Ruled Out for the Season, LaPorta Asked to Take a Pay Cut to Help the Lions Add Talent – And Detroit’s Response Left Everyone Speechless
Detroit, Michigan – November 22, 2025 Minutes after the Detroit Lions officially confirmed Sam LaPorta would miss the rest of the season with a back injury, the entire NFL was stunned when the Pro Bowl tight end voluntarily offered to take a pay cut so the team could free up money to acquire new talent for the most critical stretch of the year. An almost unheard-of gesture from a player forced off the field, yet one that perfectly embodies the spirit Detroit has always been proud of. LaPorta suffered the injury against the Eagles in Week 11 and was quickly placed on Injured Reserve. Initially the Lions hoped he could return by Week 15, but head coach Dan Campbell confirmed that chance is extremely low – essentially impossible. Losing LaPorta is a massive blow to Detroit because, from his rookie year onward, he has been the cornerstone of the offense and a vital piece in every single game plan. In this moment, LaPorta sent an emotional message that brought Detroit Nation to tears: “I can’t fight with the team on the field, but I still want to do something useful. If me sacrificing part of my salary can make the Lions stronger and give us a better chance, I’m ready. I love this place and I want to see Detroit keep moving forward because this entire city deserves to be proud.” Yet the front office’s response is what truly moved fans to their core. Instead of accepting his wish, they honored his spirit and made it clear they would never ask him to take less money. They emphasized that their only desire is for LaPorta to focus completely on recovery, come back at full strength, and continue being the heart of the offense for years to come. A genuine testament to real respect between player and organization. As the Lions prepare to enter a decisive stretch of games without one of their most reliable weapons, LaPorta’s selflessness has become a massive source of motivation inside the locker room. Even though he can’t be on the field, he’s still finding a way to fight – exactly like the tough, resilient, never-back-down nature of Detroit itself.
