If there’s one thing that Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers do, it’s draft wide receivers. One thing they haven’t done is re-sign them. Since 2007, the Steelers have drafted 15 wide receivers, including four in the second round, another four in the third, and one in the fourth. Only one—2010 sixth-round pick Antonio Brown—has gotten a second contract.
They did try to extend 2009 third-round pick Mike Wallace in the Summer of 2012 as he was entering his final season before hitting free agency. When they failed to reach terms on a deal, the front office turned around and signed Brown to an extension instead.
