The Pittsburgh Steelers have has a massive roster overhaul this offseason in an attempt to catch the AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens.
After completely turning over the quarterback room and acquiring Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, the Steelers are now rumored to be looking to add at least one more wide receiver weapon to their arsenal.

Per NFL insider Benjamin Allbright, the Pittsburgh Steelers could be interested in acquiring San Francisco 49ers wideout Brandon Aiyuk.
Aiyuk is due for a huge payday and is already frustrated with his contract situation as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. He’s posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in San Francisco, and was expecting to have heard from 49ers brass about an extension by now.
He recently unfollowed San Francisco on social media, which is now the norm when a player wants to make a statement to his team.
“I’m trying to get what I deserve,” the San Francisco wideout recently said while appearing on “Nightcap” with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson. “I feel like this season playing football, I figured out who I was as a person and a player — what I bring to the table, what I bring to the locker room, what I bring to the organization.
“If they don’t see the worth in that, that’s all it is,” he added. “It ain’t nothing else besides that. I can’t get into it. We got professionals working on both sides, so hopefully we can come to a professional agreement to continue playing professional football.”
Aiyuk’s agent denied this on X on Sunday morning, posting, “You need better sources.”
