Overview

  • The Steelers are reportedly exploring a trade for Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard following the trade of George Pickens to the Cowboys earlier today.
  • Lazard’s strong rapport with Aaron Rodgers, developed over seven seasons together in Green Bay and New York, makes him a potential fit for Pittsburgh's evolving offense.
  • Steelers president Art Rooney II indicated the team continues to receive positive signals that Rodgers is interested in joining Pittsburgh, though no decision has been finalized.
  • Lazard recently reduced his 2025 salary from $11 million to $2.5 million, making him a cost-effective option for the Steelers as they reshape their receiving corps.
  • The Steelers previously acquired D.K. Metcalf in a blockbuster trade and extended him, signaling a significant overhaul of their wide receiver lineup this offseason.
