Steelers Wire
You can always count on Pittsburgh Steelers writer Mark Madden to be the dissenting opinion in the room on any Steelers-related topic. Most Steelers fans are looking to free agency and consider the biggest prize of all being Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins.
Like it or not, Madden makes some great points as to why the Steelers won’t sign Higgins. Mainly being the current state of the Steelers offense is dreadful. Higgins is an elite player and it really makes no sense for him to want to join the Steelers system given its history and lack of talent. If he is planning to leave the Bengals, he’s likely to take a bit of a step back but going to Pittsburgh is many many steps back.
The truth is until the Steelers quarterback situation is settled, bringing in any offensive playmakers is going to be a challenge. Even if the Steelers wanted to spend big money on a position like wide receiver, what would motivate them to do so?
