Then in 2003, his numbers improved, as he had 716 receiving yards, which was enough for 9 touchdowns. In 2003 he had his breakthrough season, with 1,382 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. For the following season, Javon changed his agent and demanded a new contract from the Packers, as he was feeling he was underpaid, due to his great overall performance. However, Packers denied him a new contract, and Javon threatened with not playing and even retiring. Nevertheless, front office and Javon settled their differences and he started the 2005 season, but he injured his ACL in the first game and missed the whole season.
