- Steelers linked to free agent All-Pro wide receivers
Offensively, the Pittsburgh Steelers completely overhauled their roster this offseason with key playmakers — but the team is being urged to pull off one more blockbuster signing.
According to Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report, the Steelers should target another veteran wide receiver — such as DeAndre Hopkins or Stefon Diggs .

"The Pittsburgh Steelers finally re-signed Aaron Rodgers , and the quarterback has admitted that this will be his final NFL season," Knox wrote. "If Pittsburgh hopes to make Rodgers' last ride a memorable one, it should add a little more to its receiving corps. DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. should make a solid receiver duo. However, rookies Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen are unproven, and Pittsburgh's overall receiver depth is lacking. Adding a vet like Hopkins or Stefon Diggs would help give the Steelers a playoff-caliber offense."
Of the two receivers' recent production, Diggs was by far more successful, recording 1,013 yards, four touchdowns, and an outstanding 87.5 PFF grade, compared to Hopkins' 330 yards, two touchdowns, and 81.3 PFF grade.
While Diggs, Hopkins, or another veteran receiver would likely be hesitant to join the new-look Steelers as a WR3, the possibility of catching passes from Aaron Rodgers in his retirement season could be enticing enough.
