Three Wideout Possibilities for Pittsburgh Steelers' New QB Aaron Rodgers originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Pittsburgh Steelers finally have their man under center.
Former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal to wear the black and gold in 2025, and the Steelers could now be on the hunt to find him one or more additional weapons.

NFLAnalysys.com named three potential targets for the Steelers to acquire to play opposite DK Metcalf on Sundays.
Free agent, Keenan Allen is the first one on the list, and NFLA labels him the best available option.
"The free agency market still features a few impactful pass catchers who could now see Pittsburgh as an appealing destination. They'd get an opportunity to play with a Hall of Fame quarterback, while contributing to a roster that has the talent to make the postseason. While Amari Cooper is available and Gabe Davis has already been in for a visit, Keenan Allen is the best available."
Green Bay Packers wideout Christian Watson is second on the list, who appears to now be "expendable."

"This one is more of a 'hot fix'. Christian Watson is heading into the final year of his contract with the Green Bay Packers. They just drafted a wide receiver in the first round, and Watson has fallen into the depths of the rotation as a result. The Packers' predicted lineup is Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, and Jayden Reed, meaning Watson is expendable as depth."
Finally, and probably the most unlikely on the list, is New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave.
"The Pittsburgh Steelers had already enquired about Chris Olave earlier this year. Eventually, they made the move for DK Metcalf, but the Saints receiver was on their radar. A little like Watson, health concerns are a factor. In Olave's case, it's been a long string of concussions, the latest of which knocked him out for the remainder of the 2024 NFL season."
If the Steelers do make a move, it'll be because they believe they're in "win now" mode with Rodgers at the helm.
