The Pittsburgh Steelers’ long quest to acquire a starting wide receiver ended with Mike Williams shortly before the trade deadline. They previously pursued names like Brandon Aiyuk and Davante Adams, ultimately landing on the player who became expendable to the team that acquired Adams. While Williams should make the Steelers better in 2024, it feels less like a bang and more like a whimper.
A former top-10 pick, Mike Williams was a top wide receiver talent once upon a time, even with no Pro Bowls to his name. A deep threat with multiple 1,000-yard seasons and a 10-touchdown year under his belt, he feels like a too-little, too-late addition for the Steelers.
