George Pickens

Steelers owner Art Rooney II said the team would “address” the wide receiver position in the offseason.

Beyond George Pickens, who had 900 receiving yards and three touchdowns over 14 games in 2024, the Steelers had precious little in the way of viable wideouts. Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin alternated in operating as the No. 2 receiver for Pittsburgh. “I think we have positions in the wide receiver room we’re going to have to address,” Rooney said. “I think the wide receiver room is an area we’ve got to look at improving.” Rooney’s comments might mean the Steelers will pursue Chris Godwin or Tee Higgins in free agency this spring, or trade up in the NFL Draft for a top-end receiver. Any wideout addition would likely ding Pickens’ target domination in the run-first Steelers offense.
