Former teammate of Aaron Rodgers hits open market

Wide receiver Romeo Doubs is set to hit the open market, as talks with the Green Bay Packers did not result in a new deal, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Doubs is expected to have a slew of suitors in free agency, and the Pittsburgh Steelers could be one of them. The Steelers have a massive need at wide receiver, and Doubs has ties to Aaron Rodgers from their time together in Green Bay. Rodgers hasn’t committed to returning for another season with the Steelers, but expectations are that the four-time MVP will reunite with Mike McCarthy.

Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus thinks Doubs would be an ideal fit for the Steelers in free agency, especially due to his connection with Rodgers. Rodgers and Doubs spent the 2022 season as teammates.
