Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson signed his four-year rookie contract on Saturday, May 11. The financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Wilson should be able to play a big role in the Steelers offense this year because there isn't much on the depth chart after George Pickens. He'll primarily be a slot receiver, but with the speed to be a factor in the downfield passing game. |

Steelers | Long-term deal possible for Najee Harris Fri May 3, 12:53 AM
Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris had his fifth-year option declined because the team wants to see how he performs in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's scheme but are open to signing him to a long-term deal in the future, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: We'll see what Harris agrees to - if he agrees to a long-term deal given the state of the market at the running back position. Jaylen Warren and Harris will continue to provide the Steelers with the core of their offense on the ground in 2024. |

Steelers | Justin Fields in kick return discussion? Thu May 2, 10:46 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields has been discussed as a potential kickoff returner under the new return rules, according to DE Cameron Heyward.
| Footballguys view: It would be an interesting move, but with the new rules perhaps it makes sense. Every team is going to be looking for two returner options, and it could lead to some big plays on special teams. We'll see if Fields can beat out Russell Wilson in training camp for the starting job. If he's QB1 for the Steelers, Fields will not be on special teams. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens figures to be the team's top wideout in 2024, but Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline is reporting that the team has been 'nosing around and would like to trade for a veteran wideout' to replace Diontae Johnson.
| Footballguys view: The rumors are that the Steelers will make a move for Broncos WR Courtland Sutton. He had a good connection with QB Russell Wilson and could be looking for a fresh start (in addition to a new contract). |

Steelers | No decision on Najee Harris' option Mon Apr 22, 06:38 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris' fifth-year option will be decided on after the 2024 NFL Draft, according to general manager Omar Khan.
| Footballguys view: From a fantasy perspective, sharing the workload with Jaylen Warren isn't ideal, but it hasn't kept Harris from producing. In 2023, Harris had the best season of his career in terms of yards per carry as he rushed 255 times for 1,035 yards -- a 4.1 yards per carry average -- and he scored eight touchdowns. He remains a solid fantasy RB2. |

| Footballguys view: The Steelers have a need for front-line receiver after moving on from Diontae Johnson, who was traded to Carolina. As noted in the Footballguys 2024 Draft Guide, Mitchell will excel in a deep vertical passing offense as a secondary receiver, allowing him time to grow into a more significant role within a rotation behind George Pickens. |

Updating a previous report, free-agent WR Quez Watkins (Eagles) signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: With Diontae Johnson shipped off to Carolina via trade, the Steelers needed to add speed to their receiving corps. Watkins ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2020. With George Pickens locked in as WR1, Watkins will join a group that also has former Ram Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Marquez Callaway, and Denzel Mims. |

Steelers | Steelers have offer for Tyler Boyd Mon Apr 1, 12:15 AM
Free-agent WR Tyler Boyd (Bengals) has received an offer from the Pittsburgh Steelers but the team is not willing to up it, making a signing unlikely, per source on Friday, March 29.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers have already signed Van Jefferson, Quez Watkins, and Cordarrelle Patterson this offseason. Still, as USA Today independently suggested, none of that should preclude Pittsburgh from pursuing Boyd, who would provide the team with a viable No. 2 receiver to pair up with George Pickens after Diontae Johnson was traded to Carolina. |

Steelers | Justin Fields had interest in four teams Sun Mar 31, 09:49 AM
Former Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields, now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, had expressed interest in being traded to the Atlanta Falcons, Las Vegas Raiders, Minnesota Vikings or Steelers prior to the start of free agency, according to a source familiar with his thinking.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons seemed to be the top desintation right up until they got behind Kirk Cousins. The Raiders do have Fields' OC from Chicago, Luke Getsy, running the offense; it's fair to wonder if that would have been a sticking point. The Vikings seem to have a plan for the upcoming draft. The Steelers have an aging and recently ineffective Russell Wilson. It's fair to say landing in Pittsburgh was a great spot once Atlanta was ruled out. |
