Ahead of this month’s optional practice OTAs, the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired a wide receiver with Super Bowl experience on Wednesdays. In recent weeks, the Steelers have been connected to a number of well-known receivers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers needed to replace Diontae Johnson
Russell Wilson, the experienced quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers who is playing on the veteran minimum, needs to be utilized to the most by the team. Diontae Johnson was traded to the Carolina Panthers, leaving a gap in the team’s roster.
In the draft, the Steelers selected Roman Wilson, a standout receiver from Michigan, to partner with George Pickens, but they still needed an experienced receiver.
In recent weeks, DK Metcalf, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd have all been associated with the Steelers. On Tuesday, Boyd inked a contract with the Tennessee Titans.
The Pittsburgh Steelers added a former playmaker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whose free agency choices were limited at this time in the season.
Scotty Miller signs with the Steelers
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Scotty Miller is joining the Steelers for a one-year contract.
Miller was chosen by the Buccaneers in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. As a Buccaneers player, he was the winner of Super Bowl LV. Last season, he was a member of the Atlanta Falcons.
In his five years in the NFL, 26-year-old Miller has racked up 85 receptions for 1,085 yards and six touchdowns.
