At least one wide receiver can be ruled out of being the next Steelers signing.
The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to be getting antsy when it comes to finding another pass-catcher. They have been connected to Chris Olave, Jonnu Smith, and Kyle Pitts in potential trade talks, though nothing has come from any of those reports at the time of writing. There are few proven stars remaining on the open market.
One of those free agents available, though, is six-time Pro Bowler Keenan Allen. Speaking on a TikTok Live, Allen shut down any chance of him going to Pittsburgh.
“A-Rod being [their] quarterback, of course that interests you,” Allen said. “But Pittsburgh? No.”
Considering the free agents available, Allen turning down the Steelers limits their options if they want to go that route to find a WR2 to put opposite DK Metcalf. Amari Cooper is the top remaining option, and he is coming off a statistical down year with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills, catching 44 passes for 547 yards and four touchdowns. That said, he may be the best player available should the Steelers not be able to trade for another star receiver.
