With Pat Freiermuth in 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers might finally have a tight end that is a top target. That is as much about the rest of the Steelers’ roster as it is about Freiermuth, but facts are facts. With the lack of wide receiver depth, he is clearly positioned for an uptick in targets. And especially in a contract year, he is set up for a transformative season.
“He’s got to be salivating”, former Steelers front office executive Doug Whaley said recently about Freiermuth on 93.7 The Fan. The team’s only established wide receiver is George Pickens after trading Diontae Johnson.
