The Pittsburgh Steelers never did make a big splash at wide receiver during the 2024 offseason. But the Steelers are 10-3, and after their most recent victory against the Cleveland Browns, head coach Mike Tomlin stressed how much confidence he and the coaching staff have in their wideouts.

But that doesn’t mean they won’t aim to make a splash in free agency at receiver next offseason. On December 9, Bleacher Report argued the Steelers should sign veteran wideout Keenan Allen.

“Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin III and even Mike Williams have all chipped in to give the Steelers the production of a good No. 2 wide receiver to pair with Pickens. Still, it would be good for the team to bring in more talent to the receiving corps,” wrote Bleacher Report’s staff.

“Keenan Allen has not put up big numbers for the Bears this season, but he’s still a fairly reliable veteran. It would be worth a shot to see what he has left to offer an offense next season and if he can bounce back in a more functional offense next year.”

Allen has 47 catches for 471 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns this season. But just last year, he made his sixth Pro Bowl while mostly catching passes from Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.

He finished the 2023 campaign with 108 receptions, 1,243 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns.

Allen will be a free agent next spring. He signed a 4-year, $80.1 million contract extension with the Chargers early in the 2020 NFL season.
