Steelers predicted to trade for 'one of Aaron Rodgers' guys' to solve WR problem
The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in Aaron Rodgers.
Now it's time to bring in "one of his guys."
Given that Pittsburgh is a bit light on the wide receiver depth chart, it actually makes some sense.
For The Win's Cory Woodroof thinks they should send a fifth-round pick to the Jets for Allan Lazard.
"Look, this is more of a 'we're just ready to get this over with' type of thing," Woodroof writes. "The Steelers need another wide receiver, and Lazard is one of Aaron Rodgers' guys. We expect Pittsburgh and the New York Jets will work something out before the season that sends Lazard to the Steel City. It just feels automatic at this point."

Lazard played with Rodgers in Green Bay.
In Pittsburgh, he'd compete for secondary wideout snaps with Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods.
Rodgers will need at least one of those guys to break through to make this win-now situation work with the future Hall of Fame QB. Adding Lazard would only help his cause.
