Jets WR Requests Trade to Steelers to Reunite with Rodgers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have suddenly found themselves at the center of trade speculation. After their thrilling Week 1 win over the New York Jets, Pittsburgh is being mentioned as a dream destination for players looking to compete right away.
With Aaron Rodgers opening the season in dominant fashion, throwing four touchdowns in his debut, attention has only grown. Rodgers proved he still has plenty left in the tank, and the Steelers are shaping into a roster built to chase another Lombardi.
According to NFL sources, a veteran wide receiver has directly requested that the Jets find him a new home. Pittsburgh has surfaced as the top option, thanks to a familiar locker room connection and an already established bond on the field.
This player hasn’t been shy about his ambitions. He’s looking to reignite his chemistry with Rodgers, believing Pittsburgh is the place to do it. For him, it’s not just about statistics — it’s about winning big games on the biggest stage.
That player is Allen Lazard, Rodgers’ trusted target during their years together in Green Bay. Lazard has made it clear he wants to reunite with his former quarterback — only this time in black and gold.
“Rodgers isn’t just a QB I once caught passes from — he’s a true leader,” Lazard said. “I want to line up with him again, this time in Pittsburgh. I believe we can build something special here.”
If the deal goes through, Lazard would immediately boost Pittsburgh’s WR depth and give Rodgers another reliable weapon. For the Steelers, it could be the missing piece in their quest to rise as one of the AFC’s most dangerous teams.
