The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly have their eyes on three wide receivers in free agency.
According to Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan, those three are Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs, Indianapolis Colts wideout Alec Pierce and New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson.
"Report: The Steelers are expected to “aggressively pursue” the best free agent WRs when free agency opens. Here are the names on their radar: Alec Pierce, Romeo Doubs, Wan'Dale Robinson," Fillipponi reported.
It isn't surprising to see that any one of those three names are on the Steelers' radar.
After all, Pittsburgh has had a WR2 problem for multiple years now, and the team needs more depth at the position, also.
Pierce, Robinson and Doubs are all coming off career years. Pierce and Robinson surpassed 1,000 yards for the first time, and Doubs totaled a personal best 724 yards, which is made more impressive by the fact that he was in a crowded receivers room in Green Bay.
Pierce will no doubt be the most expensive of the three, as he's widely viewed as the best receiver available. Estimates have him pulling in at least $27 million per year on a new deal.
Robinson figures to do better on the open market than Doubs, but both will come in under Pierce. We'd expect both players to land in the range of deals totaling about $15-20 million annually.
Robinson in particular has been heavily linked to the Tennessee Titans, and the Giants have interest in bringing him back but could get priced out.
For what the Steelers need, all three receivers would suffice, but we tend to believe Pittsburgh will be fishing in the cheaper end of the wide receiver pond considering they're already paying big money to DK Metcalf.
If we had to put money on which one of these three the Steelers will sign, we'd go with Doubs, who also has a connection to Aaron Rodgers.
