The Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver room is motivated by the recent trade rumors.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have been fairly open about their pursuit of another playmaking wide receiver. Since the trading of Diontae Johnson, the team has a steep drop off in production and talent after de facto number one, George Pickens.the Steelers' current receiving room has taken notice. Not only have they taken notice, the chatter is seemingly fueling the fire of the five men battling it out for the final four receiving positions.
“We most definitely hear it," Austin said. "At the end of the day, we understand that this is a business. The only thing that we can control is going out there on the field and putting on a show. So, I mean, we’d be lying if we said it doesn’t motivate or push us. We’re going to go out there and do what we have to go regardless, but we do want to prove that we got what we need. At the end of the day, that’s not gonna be on us. If we bring somebody, good. If we don’t, good.
As it stands currently, free-agent signing Van Jefferson is the most likely candidate to line up as the number two receiver in week one. But even he knows that isn't etched in stone, especially with all of the rumors still flying around.
