The upcoming NFL season is already generating discussion because of the moves teams are making during the offseason, and the topic continues to grow. The Miami Dolphins need roster changes to recover from their disappointing season, while the Pittsburgh Steelers want to strengthen the areas that prevented them from advancing further in the postseason. The Buffalo Bills also remain involved in the search for a wide receiver despite completing a trade for DJ Moore.

According to Easton Butler, the Dolphins, Steelers, Bills, Eagles and Saints are interested in Romeo Doubs. However, there is an interesting detail regarding the race for the receiver. β€œDolphins are clear #1 so far for WR Romeo Doubs, with the Steelers and Bills just as strong. Other teams interested are Eagles and Saints. (Bills prior to DJ Moore trade).”

In addition, Doubs is not the only player leaving the Packers as a free agent. Quarterback Malik Willis, left tackle Rasheed Walker and linebacker Quay Walker are also expected to depart once the NFL free agent market opens. Offensive lineman Sean Rhyan and defensive end Kingsley Enagbare may have also played their final game with the franchise.

One situation that could influence Doubs’ potential destination involves the Steelers, as he could reunite with the quarterback he played with during his rookie season if Aaron Rodgers decides to return for one more year. That possibility could become a key factor, although the Dolphins are expected to make a resurgence.

A fourth-round pick by the Packers in 2022, Romeo Doubs emerged as a consistent contributor in Green Bay’s passing attack, recording 202 receptions for 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns over his four-year career. One of his standout performances came against the Cowboys this past season, when he caught six passes for 58 yards and three touchdowns.
