Aaron Rodgers’ situation remains unresolved regarding a potential move to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that hasn’t stopped the franchise from staying aggressive. Head coach Mike Tomlin continues to bolster his roster in every way possible—and in the last few hours, he added a former Super Bowl champion to the squad ahead of the upcoming NFL season.
Robert Woods, who began his professional career back in 2013, is bringing his veteran talent to the AFC North as the newest addition to Tomlin’s squad. The seasoned wide receiver could potentially form a dangerous duo with Rodgers—should the star quarterback ultimately land in Pittsburgh.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport broke the news on his official X account (formerly Twitter), announcing that the former Super Bowl champion with the Rams is headed to the Steelers.
“Source: The #Steelers are signing veteran WR Robert Woods to a 1-year, $2M deal. A new target and big-time locker room presence for… whoever their QB ends up being. The former #Texans WR lands in a great spot,” the insider reported via @RapSheet.

The Steelers‘ ambition to reach another SB is clear, and to achieve this once again, they’ve followed the path of adding experienced, winning players who know what it takes to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
In early February 2022, Robert Woods was part of the Los Angeles Rams team that defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI. Additionally, with a different outcome, he also played in Super Bowl LIII with the Rams, where they suffered a 13-3 loss to the New England Patriots.
