After it became obvious that a further relationship with Antonio Brown was no longer sustainable, the Pittsburgh Steelers put into motion a plan to try to replenish their wide receiver room, which ultimately saw a 50 percent turnover at the position from last season. The only three players returning are JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Washington, and Ryan Switzer, with Brown, Eli Rogers, Justin Hunter, and Darrius Heyward-Bey now gone (Hunter finished last season on IR).
The most prominent of the new faces was Donte Moncrief, the first one in, signed early in free agency to a two-year contract worth a total of $9 million.
