The Pittsburgh Steelers possess a formidable 1-2 punch at wide receiver with Diontae Johnson and George Pickens. The Steelers also have third-year wideout Calvin Austin and veteran Allen Robinson.
But with the expectation that Robinson could be a cap casualty this offseason, Pro Football Focus’ Brad Spielberger suggested the Steelers as a landing spot for 2-time All-Pro receiver Michael Thomas.
Spielberger wrote
“Pittsburgh brought Allen Robinson aboard to serve as the big slot possession receiver in 2023, and while his lack of production was not entirely his own doing, perhaps the Steelers take another swing with Thomas coming in as the No. 3 alongside Diontae Johnson and George Pickens,”
“Moving Johnson and Pickens into the slot more to help create more separation on out-breakers like corner routes, an area Pickens excelled in 2023, adds more versatility to the whole unit.”
