Throughout last offseason leading up to the start of the 2024 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were on the hunt for a true No. 1 wide receiver and were connected to names like San Francisco’s Brandon Aiyuk and Denver’s Courtland Sutton. Unfortunately, the Steelers and GM Omar Khan were unable to land either one, leading to a rather difficult season in the passing game as the Steelers had no real option to take pressure off George Pickens at the receiver position.
This offseason, Khan and the Steelers didn’t miss, swinging big and landing star receiver DK Metcalf in a trade, then handing out a five-year, $150 million deal to the 27-year-old receiver.
