After missing out on Brandon Aiyuk following his Thursday evening extension to remain with the San Francisco 49ers, the Pittsburgh Steelers are left in a bit of a predicament. They seem to be missing one piece of the puzzle toward having a complete and competitive offense. Van Jefferson is the No. 2 wide receiver in name, but there is a strong chance that TE Pat Freiermuth finishes the season with the second-most receptions and yards. He is going to need to effectively be the WR2.
“To address receiver, it’s gonna be a combination of Pat Freiermuth and Van Jefferson,” said Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo via 93.
