The NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror, and OTAs are just around the corner, but the Pittsburgh Steelers' roster might not be set just yet. While the team added wide receiver Germie Bernard in the second round of the 2026 draft, there's still room to bring in a veteran presence to bolster the receiving corps. Here are three free agent wideouts the Steelers should consider targeting before the season kicks off.
Stefon Diggs
Fresh off a Super Bowl run with the New England Patriots, Diggs proved in 2025 that age is just a number. At 32, he remains one of the league's elite receivers, showcasing the route-running precision and hands that have defined his career. Adding a player of his caliber would give the Steelers a proven No. 1 option and a mentor for younger talents like Bernard.
Curtis Samuel
If the Steelers are looking for a budget-friendly addition, Samuel is a no-brainer. His versatility to line up both outside and in the slot, combined with blazing 4.31 speed, makes him a dangerous weapon in any offense. Samuel could provide instant depth and a dynamic playmaking element, especially on screens and crossing routes.
Tyreek Hill
Hill remains one of the most talked-about free agents, but his availability comes with a major caveat. The devastating knee injury he suffered in 2025 casts uncertainty over his immediate future. However, if the Steelers are willing to exercise patience and allow Hill to recover—even if it means missing early-season action—his game-breaking speed could transform their offense into one of the league's most explosive units by the time the playoffs roll around.
Whether the Steelers prioritize immediate impact or long-term upside, these three receivers each bring something unique to the table. As the offseason continues, Pittsburgh has a chance to add another weapon for its quarterback and take the next step toward contention.
