Steelers Now
Following the trade of George Pickens, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a familiar predicament: they need another wide receiver. The organization shelled out a lot to acquire DK Metcalf to be their go-to target in Arthur Smith’s offense, but they need to find him a competent complement to avoid opposing defenses hyper-focusing on him on game days. With the free agent market underwhelming at this point in the proceedings, the team would be better suited to pursue an upgrade via trade.
SN analyst Derrick Bell breaks down the best, most realistic targets for the Steelers to pursue with the goal of finding a playmaker to contribute immediately but also be useful as the team moves forward into the future. Strictly from an on-field perspective, replacing Pickens won’t be easy. However, there are enough potential options to where they could accumulate enough bodies to throw at the problem. In order to avoid falling into last year’s kryptonite, Pittsburgh should be working the phones religiously over the next couple of months.
