The Pittsburgh Steelers have been hot on the trail of wide receiver help dating back to before the 2024 NFL Draft. Every big-name receiver that has become available or even has a chance at becoming available, the Steelers have been linked to. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on X, the Steelers were very close to finalizing a deal on Jacksonville Jaguars WR Christian Kirk before he broke his collarbone.
“The Steelers were in the process of trying to get a deal done for Christian Kirk, and league sources told ESPN that there was a reasonable chance that the Jaguars wide receiver was going to wind up as a Steeler until he broke his collarbone last Sunday,” Schefter wrote via ESPN.
