The Pittsburgh Steelers will reportedly listen to offers on one of their key offensive players this offseason.
According to a report from Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda, the Steelers “are open to” trading star wide receiver Diontae Johnson for the right price. Johnson has one year remaining on his contract and could hit free agency next spring:
“Is Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Diontae Johnson on the trading block? The short answer is possibly, if the price is right…
While it’s not fair to say Johnson is on the trading block, several people tell me the Steelers are open to moving the receiver if they receive fair compensation.”
Georgia product George Pickens emerged as the Steelers’ lead receiver in 2023, hauling in 63 receptions for 1,140 yards and five touchdowns. Pickens averaged a ridiculous league-leading 18.1 yards per catch, helping Pittsburgh to 10 wins and an unlikely return to the postseason.
