The Pittsburgh Steelers searched high and low all offseason and much of the season leading up to the trade deadline searching for a wide receiver to complement DK Metcalf. GM Omar Khan struck out in that search.
But he might have found an answer on Tuesday on waivers.
The Steelers were awarded 35-year-old wide receiver Adam Thielen off of waivers. Thielen gives Pittsburgh an experienced weapon in the receiver room to try to boost the offense in the passing game. That has stagnated in recent weeks with Aaron Rodgers’ wrist injury and a lack of creative concepts and schemes.
