Rumors and speculation are heating up as free agency rapidly approaches, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were just tabbed as a landing spot for Stefon Diggs — one of the top wide receivers on the market following his release from the New England Patriots.
CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo recently compiled the best team fits for Diggs, with the Steelers being among the five potential landing spots.
"The Steelers are basically in any conversation involving receivers after they unsuccessfully tried to land a proven veteran at the position last season. In Pittsburgh, Diggs would take some attention off DK Metcalf, who was consistently double-teamed during his first season with the Steelers," DeArdo wrote. "Diggs may be hesitant to go to Pittsburgh, however, given the team's uncertainty at quarterback. Aaron Rodgers remains a possibility, but Rodgers said Tuesday that he hasn't made a decision about what he will do in 2026."
DeArdo hit the nail on the head in every aspect of his argument — the Steelers will be tied to every available wide receiver, but the concerns at quarterback could scare many of them off, including Diggs.
Unless the Steelers can guarantee any free-agent wideout stability at their quarterback position, it may be hard to garner much interest this offseason. But money talks, as Pittsburgh currently holds the seventh-most cap space in the league and could drop another big contract to bring in a top receiver.
