The Pittsburgh Steelers sent shockwaves through the fanbase this week after trading away 2019 third-round wide receiver Diontae Johnson — a foundational piece of the offense over the past five seasons — to the Carolina Panthers in a relatively questionable move. Luckily, those types of moves have been few and far between so far for GM Omar Khan in his short career as the Steelers’ GM, but it’s left fans wondering — who exactly will be catching passes from Russell Wilson this season?
Most moves from the Steelers in free agency have indicated a desire to go “all-in” on the 2024 season, so it’s a natural assumption to believe the Steelers won’t be content with their depth chart essentially starting and ending with third-year wide receiver George Pickens.
