So far, the Steelers‘ quest to land a proven veteran wideout has been like the ending of “Sopranos”: a lot of buildup that ended in a black abyss. We may never know what happened to Tony Soprano, but time will ultimately determine how Pittsburgh’s receiver situation will unfold.
So, here’s what we know so far, or at least according to reports.
- Pittsburgh was in on free agent Tyler Boyd, but monetary differences nixed a possible signing.
- The Steelers were interested in 49ers WR Deebo Samuel, but were not willing to meet San Francisco’s asking price.
- Pittsburgh inquired about acquiring Broncos WR Courtland Sutton before and during the draft.
- The Steelers have inquired about Seahawks WR DK Metcalf.
So far, the Steelers haven’t been able to make any of said deals come to fruition, but rest assured, Pittsburgh will remedy the situation between now and when it kicks the regular season off in September.
The market has cooled, but the Steelers still have some options, both in free agency and via trade. Below is my ranking of Pittsburgh’s options regarding veteran wideouts.
