2022 Season Breakdown:
Concerned about the departure of most of the wide receiver room from the previous season—JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Washington, and Ray-Ray McCloud all leaving in free agency—the Pittsburgh Steelers tried to bolster depth ahead of the draft.
That included claiming former day-two draft pick Miles Boykin after the Baltimore Ravens waived him, and they were willing to take on his higher Proven Performance Escalator salary of better than $2.
