It’s quite rare for the Pittsburgh Steelers, even as they increasingly turn to the air to find their production on the offensive side of the ball, to go into a season with six wide receivers on the roster, but that is just what they did last offseason as they looked to insulate themselves from a pair of losses at the position in free agency.
The Steelers have already cut two of those players from that roster since then, but they have retained the other four, and also added Sammie Coates in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
