With both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields being brought in during the opening week of free agency, as well as a trade that sent WR Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, the Steelers have an urgent need at wide receiver opposite George Pickens. They added a couple guys in Quez Watkins and Van Jefferson, but they seem to be in line to compete for a rotational, depth role on the roster. Several insiders have suggested that the Steelers have been in pursuit of a veteran in the free agent market, but options are running thin.
NFL Network’s Peter Schrager appeared on the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday afternoon and discussed what he has heard about the wide receiver situation in Pittsburgh from sources around the league.
