With George Pickens off to Dallas, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a void at vast receiver. Ian Rapoport thinks the workforce is gearing up for a transfer to exchange his snaps.
“I’d be shocked if the Steelers are achieved on the receiver place. Prone to a minimum of signal yet one more and there are a pair proficient receivers nonetheless in the marketplace,” Rapoport informed Good Morning Soccer’s Kyle Brandt.
Following the majority of free company and the draft, the Steelers’ choices are restricted. They might name Inexperienced Bay about its deep vast receiver corps, New York for the Jets’ Allen Lazard, or pursue a free agent like Gabe Davis or Amari Cooper. Even with Roman Wilson and Calvin Austin III on the roster and Robert Woods signed shortly after the draft, the vast receiver room carries severe questions past No. 1 DK Metcalf.
Steelers reporter Gerry Dulac pushed again on the notion of a 3rd receiver offseason commerce whereas the workforce reportedly has confidence in Wilson following an injury-plagued rookie 12 months.
It’s an analogous predicament as a 12 months in the past when Pittsburgh spent all offseason and up till the commerce deadline looking for a Diontae Johnson substitute. The Steelers struck out on Brandon Aiyuk, Davante Adams, and others till making the delicate transfer of including Mike Williams on the commerce deadline.
With OTAs starting later this month, the Steelers face uncertainty at quarterback and certainly one of their beginning receiver spots. Ideally, each questions are answered by the top of the month. Aaron Rodgers making a call coupled with Pittsburgh buying a receiver by means of signal or commerce would permit a radically new-look offense to hit the bottom working throughout essential team-development occasions.
However simply in the best way a Pickens deal couldn’t get achieved throughout a great time-frame, there’s no assure Pittsburgh is ready to fill within the gaps on its phrases, both. The Steelers appear intent on ready for Rodgers so long as he wants and a receiver commerce might be powerful to tug off this time of 12 months as groups want to guage their roster and expertise moderately than ship items out within the spring.
