The Pittsburgh Steelers tried to bring in a wide receiver upgrade before and during the 2024 campaign but ultimately failed in their pursuit. They did acquire Mike Williams, but Williams didn't prove to be the upgrade the Steelers needed.

Similar to Godwin, Stefon Diggs' season-ending injury in 2024 will likely force him to test the free-agent waters in 2025. If Diggs can fully recover from his ACL injury by next season, the Steelers may get a steal with his elite talent likely coming at a bargain 'prove-it' contract.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers look to the offseason, wide receiver remains among their top needs, and it could be addressed with a splash in free agency. The top free agent wide receiver right now would be wide receiver Tee Higgins, who the Cincinnati Bengals have yet to extend.

Free agency can be exciting for some teams while being a curse for others in the NFL. While struggling teams can sway great players to help rebuild their franchises, strong teams often lose their most dynamic players due to salary cap implications.
