Fans can look forward to a new offensive-minded regime with head coach Mike McCarthy at the helm of the Pittsburgh Steelers, no doubt looking to acquire additional playmakers in free agency this offseason.
If Pittsburgh ultimately looks to add another wide receiver opposite DK Metcalf, Marquise Brown of the Kansas City Chiefs would be an ideal acquisition.
If Calvin Austin III walks in free agency, the addition of Brown could be viewed by some as an upgrade at wide receiver. With game-changing speed and acceleration, exceptional route running, and versatility to make an impact outside and in the slot, Brown could be exactly what the Steelers sorely lacked last season. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that his cousin Antonio Brown was arguably the greatest wide receiver in franchise history.
Brown could predictably sign a two-year deal worth around $18 million, above Spotrac's projected $5.5 million average annual salary, given his upside and potential impact in Pittsburgh.
