Steelers Could Now Land Aaron Rodgers' Former Wide Receiver After Cryptic Post About Packers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had quite an exciting offseason. However, there remain concerns about whether the Steelers have given new quarterback Aaron Rodgers enough significant pass catchers to build a competent offense in 2025. This has led some Steelers fans and some NFL analysts to believe that General Manager Omar Khan should consider making one more move to strengthen the wide receiver room before the season begins.

On Sunday, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs posted a cryptic image to his Instagram story. The post quickly caught the attention of football fans, many of whom saw it as a sign that something might be going on behind the scenes in Green Bay. While nothing has been confirmed, the image sparked speculation that Doubs may be frustrated with his role or future with the team.

The Steelers have a true number one wide receiver in DK Metcalf, but the concern is the lack of depth behind him. If there is indeed tension between Doubs and the Packers, Khan may have a new opportunity to make a move. Doubs played with Rodgers during the 2022 season and could bring instant chemistry to a Steelers offense that still needs reliable secondary options in the passing game.

Reuniting Doubs with Rodgers in Pittsburgh could provide a much-needed spark and help solidify the receiving corps heading into the regular season. When Doubs entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick in 2022, he had the rare opportunity to begin his career catching passes from a future Hall of Famer. 

Playing alongside four-time league MVP during his rookie season with the Packers, Doubs showed flashes of his potential early on. He finished that year with 42 receptions for 425 receiving yards and three touchdowns, quickly earning the trust of Rodgers and carving out a role in a crowded offense.

Since that rookie campaign, Doubs has continued to grow into a dependable target. Over his first three seasons, he has proven himself to be a consistent and productive wide receiver with reliable hands, sharp route-running, and a knack for finding open space in the secondary. While he may not have developed into a superstar, Doubs has established himself as a valuable contributor who can thrive in the right system.

For the Steelers, adding Doubs would be more than just a depth move. With Metcalf locked in as the clear number one option, Pittsburgh is still searching for stability behind him. Doubs could step in as a strong second or third option, giving Rodgers a familiar face and helping the Steelers feel far more confident in the overall strength of their receiving corps. His experience, versatility, and previous chemistry with Rodgers make him a logical and potentially impactful addition.

Steelers Are Confident In Their Passing Attack

The Steelers believe Calvin Austin III can emerge as a solid number two option, and they view Roman Wilson as a reliable contributor as well. On top of that, the Steelers have a veteran presence in Robert Woods, along with a strong and versatile tight end room.

Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth, and Darnell Washington should all have opportunities to help open up the offense and challenge defenses in multiple ways. The Steelers expect to have a unique and dynamic passing attack, and they are confident in the pieces they’ve assembled. However, if there’s an opportunity to acquire Doubs at the right price, it could be the kind of move that takes this offense to another level. Steeler Nation will be ready to see if Khan calls Green Bay to see if Doubs is available.
