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.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Marquez Callaway has signed a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to the NFL transactions page. Callaway was on the Buccaneers' practice squad this season the middle of October until the conclusion of the year, and now will return for the offseason with the team.

A starting quarterback on a horrific AFC team has been named a potential trade option for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
