The Pittsburgh Steelers have bolstered their wide receiver lineup by trading for Michael Pittman Jr. and drafting Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen. However, there remains the possibility of adding another receiver if Roman Wilson fails to secure the No. 4 spot. Beat writer Ray Fittipaldo indicated that although it's unlikely a high-profile signing like Stefon Diggs would occur, the team may seek a veteran addition if Wilson underperforms in training camp. With a currently limited free-agent market, options like Josh Reynolds and Chris Moore could be considered, but no decisions will be made until the preseason progresses.

By the Numbers
  • Roman Wilson was a gameday inactive in the final games last season, including the playoff loss.
  • The Steelers have added Michael Pittman Jr., joining DK Metcalf and the draft picks in the receiver rotation.
State of Play
  • Roman Wilson's performance will dictate the Steelers' strategy at wide receiver going into training camp.
  • The team's current receiver depth includes Pittman, Bernard, Wetjen, and Wilson as potential contributors.
What's Next

If Wilson does not step up, the Steelers may pursue a free-agent receiver before the season starts, with roster decisions likely forming by August as training camp unfolds.

Bottom Line

The Steelers are prepared to make a move if Wilson fails to show his potential. Their strategy will hinge on Wilson's development, and they may need to bolster the depth chart if he cannot establish himself.
