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

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.
