NFL News: Mike Tomlin and Steelers reportedly have an important list of wide receivers to replace George Pickens

With George Pickens no longer in the picture, Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are wasting no time building a plan to reload at wide receiver. From veteran playmakers to trusted Rodgers connections, Pittsburgh is eyeing key names to keep their offense dangerous heading into the new season.

Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are ready to find the wide receiver to replace George Pickens according to multiple reports. After the surprising trade with the Dallas Cowboys, general manager Omar Khan is already considering a possible list of candidates.

In the first tier of options, Aaron Rodgers could play a key role with a dynamic similar to the one he used with the New York Jets: convincing Pittsburgh to sign former teammates who were reliable throughout his career.

In this scenario, if Rodgers truly has a verbal agreement with the Steelers, names like Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs have gained momentum in recent hours as alternatives following Pickens’ departure.

Who will Steelers sign at wide receiver?

Keenan Allen, Gabe Davis, and Amari Cooper are other options the Pittsburgh Steelers could sign to fill the void left by George Pickens. It’s important to note that, as of now, their depth chart includes DK Metcalf, Robert Woods, Calvin Austin III, and Roman Wilson.

In fact, according to a report by Jeremy Fowler, the Steelers are expecting a big leap from Wilson in Year 2 to add depth to the position. Even so, Roman is still far from showing the potential Pickens had.
