It’s starting to feel as though the Pittsburgh Steelers are incapable of holding on to wide receivers if they draft them in the third round. Mike Wallace left after four seasons to sign big money in 2013. Emmanuel Sanders, drafted a year later, didn’t have the same success, but still got a decent contract in 2014 and then exploded. Markus Wheaton, their 2013 third-round draft pick, is the latest on the production line to find a new home.
The Chicago Bears inked the former Steelers wide receiver to a two-year contract, thought the details of that contract have not yet been disclosed.
