Could Romeo Doubs Reunite with Rodgers and McCarthy in Pittsburgh?
Romeo Doubs is hitting free agency, and while his time in Green Bay may be winding down, a reunion with some familiar faces could be on the horizon - just not in the same uniform.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering a new era with Mike McCarthy stepping in as head coach, and there’s buzz that Aaron Rodgers could be in play to join him. If that domino falls, Doubs could be a logical piece to complete the puzzle. The former Packers wideout built chemistry with Rodgers during their time together in Green Bay, and he already knows McCarthy's offensive terminology, which could make for a seamless transition.
Pittsburgh’s offense is in need of a steady WR2 to complement DK Metcalf, and Doubs checks a lot of boxes. Over the past three seasons, he’s been a reliable and efficient target - even if the box score doesn’t always tell the full story.
According to Pro Football Focus, Doubs owns a solid 78.6 receiving grade and ranks in the 75th percentile in performance against single coverage since 2024. That’s not just good - that’s the kind of consistency teams covet, especially when building around a big-play receiver like Metcalf.
The Packers haven’t exactly been airing it out in recent years, and their deep receiver room has meant fewer targets to go around. But Doubs has quietly carved out a reputation as a dependable option, particularly in tight coverage and high-leverage situations. He’s not flashy, but he moves the chains, makes contested catches, and understands how to work within the structure of the offense - traits that tend to shine with the right quarterback.
If Pittsburgh does land Rodgers, the idea of pairing him with a familiar target like Doubs becomes even more intriguing. Chemistry between quarterback and receiver can take time to develop - unless it’s already there. And with McCarthy likely to bring a more structured, quarterback-friendly system to the Steelers, Doubs could thrive in a role that plays to his strengths: route precision, timing, and reliability.
Of course, the Steelers still have to figure out their quarterback situation before anything else falls into place. But if they do go all-in on a Rodgers-led offense, Doubs would be a smart, plug-and-play addition who knows the system, knows the quarterback, and brings the kind of quiet production that doesn’t always make headlines - but helps win games.
For now, it’s just a possibility. But it’s one that makes a lot of football sense.
