Rapoport Expects Steelers To Make One other WR Transfer

With George Pickens off to Dallas, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a void at broad receiver. Ian Rapoport thinks the staff is gearing up for a transfer to interchange his snaps.

“I’d be shocked if the Steelers are finished on the receiver place. Prone to at the very least signal yet one more and there are a pair gifted receivers nonetheless available on the market,” Rapoport advised 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 broad 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 broad 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 staff reportedly has confidence in Wilson following an injury-plagued rookie 12 months.

It’s the same predicament as a 12 months in the past when Pittsburgh spent all offseason and up till the commerce deadline trying to find 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 one in all 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 enable a radically new-look offense to hit the bottom working throughout essential team-development occasions.

However simply in the way in which a Pickens deal couldn’t get finished throughout an excellent 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 can be robust to drag off this time of 12 months as groups favor to judge their roster and expertise relatively than ship items out within the spring.
