Before you ask: No, the Steelers aren’t trading for Packers WR Romeo Doubs

All offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers were connected with San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk in trade rumors. Now we get news that the Steelers are actively pursuing a trade for Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams. If there’s a wide receiver who might be available, the Steelers are probably interested.

But not in this case. Not at all.

The reports are that Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has skipped two straight practices as he is unhappy with his role in the Packers offense. The team was concerned about Doubs and even went to his house to check on him.

Doubs had career highs last season with 59 receptions for 674 yards and eight touchdowns. This season, the entire Packers passing offense has been off pace, but Doubs is still second on the team in catches (12) and receiving yards (169).

If Doubs is angling for a trade, this type of behavior doesn’t exactly make a good first impression on prospective suitors.
