Analyst links Stefon Diggs to the Pittsburgh Steelers
Stefon Diggs remains one of the top available free agents this offseason. In an article published on Monday, Christopher Knox of Bleacher Reports is linking the wide receivers to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is despite the complete overhaul they’ve done on the offense this offseason.
“The Pittsburgh Steelers finally re-signed Aaron Rodgers, and the quarterback has admitted that this will be his final NFL season,” Knox wrote. “If Pittsburgh hopes to make Rodgers’ last ride a memorable one, it should add a little more to its receiving corps.
“DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. should make a solid receiver duo. However, rookies Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen are unproven, and Pittsburgh’s overall receiver depth is lacking. Adding a vet like Hopkins or Stefon Diggs would help give the Steelers a playoff-caliber offense.”
Diggs had a successful 2025 season with the Patriots, recording 85 receptions on 102 targets for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. This means he will be looking for a prominent role in his next team. With the presence of DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. in Pittsburgh, there’s little chance he will accept going there.
