93.7 The Fan\u2019s The Pomp and Joe Show<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n\u201cI think they\u2019re gonna wait to see if Aaron Rodgers signs and then if Aaron Rodgers signs you kind of go out and fit somebody who\u2019s gonna fit him,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t wanna just go out now and sign the biggest name out there. Whether that\u2019s Keenan Allen or a Gabe Davis\u2026There\u2019s guys out there with good numbers, but honestly I think you wanna get the right fit for Aaron Rodgers and everyone keeps coming back to Allen Lazard. We don\u2019t even know if he\u2019s available yet with the Jets, but that would be a good fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to wrap your head around the Steelers making any roster decisions (or lack thereof) for a 41-year-old quarterback that hasn\u2019t even signed a contract yet to commit to the team. There have been rumblings of a handshake agreement in place, but nothing is certain until the ink dries on the dotted line.<\/p>\n
If the Steelers were interested in giving him the best possible receivers, they probably wouldn\u2019t have traded Pickens.<\/p>\n
Aaron Rodgers\u2019 influence on the Jets\u2019 roster was quite apparent over his two years there. They brought in Randall Cobb, Malik Taylor, Allen Lazard, Davante Adams and a couple of his former offensive linemen over his two years in New York. He won\u2019t have that kind of influence in Pittsburgh, but it wouldn\u2019t be surprising for Lazard or perhaps one of his other former Packers receivers to end up in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
The Steelers are projected to have 12 draft picks next year. While many of them could be used to move up for a quarterback, they still have wiggle room to use a late-round pick to improve the receiver room. The Packers drafted both Matthew Golden and Savion Williams last month. Could one of either Romeo Doubs or Christian Watson make sense? Both played with Rodgers during their rookie seasons in 2022.<\/p>\n
Watson was a second-round pick and hasn\u2019t had much success other than the lone season he spent with Rodgers. He is entering a contract year, so he likely wouldn\u2019t be the costliest trade given his recent track record of 1,042 yards and seven TDs over the last two seasons combined.<\/p>\n
While Omar Khan expressed confidence<\/a> in his current group, I can\u2019t imagine they want a repeat of last year. Adding one more WR, and one that has experience with Rodgers, makes too much sense to not consider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether it ends up being addition by subtraction or not, there is little debate that the Pittsburgh Steelers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[8740,1586,1501,7,6,520,57,2360,7827,3995,426,8883],"class_list":{"0":"post-60590","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-93-7-the-fan","9":"tag-aaron-rodgers","10":"tag-christian-watson","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-pittsburgh","14":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","15":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","16":"tag-ray-fittipaldo","17":"tag-romeo-doubs","18":"tag-steelers","19":"tag-the-pomp-and-joe-show"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114530471648493229","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
