We now are past the midway point of the 2024 National Football League regular season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in an even better spot than they likely expected to be in. Pittsburgh is in first place in the AFC North with a 6-2 record and is looking like a real threat in the AFC to make a deep run in the playoffs. We still have plenty of time until the postseason and don’t need to put the carriage ahead of the horse, but the Steelers are trending in the right direction.
Pittsburgh is putting something special together. The Steelers are building a team that can be a consistent winner over the next few years, but the receiver room needs to be addressed. Pittsburgh will continue to look for ways to add this season and then likely will again in the offseason.
The Steelers will have plenty of options to help fix the roster and Bleacher Report’s scouting department floated Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin as a hypothetical fit in the offseason.
“2025 Free Agency: WR Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” Bleacher Report said. “The good news for the Steelers is that there figure to be a number of veteran free-agent receivers who could be looking for a home. That group includes Stefon Diggs, Amari Cooper and DeAndre Hopkins. We’ve featured Diggs as a potential Steelers target in free agency. This week, it’s Chris Godwin.

“The Buccaneers receiver excels in the slot, which would be just fine alongside Pickens who operates best on the outside. Godwin’s market will be interesting, as a 29-year-old coming off a dislocated ankle that ended his season.”
Godwin will be one of the top free agents available after the season. Pittsburgh will be looking to add and Godwin certainly should be in consideration. It’s too early to tell with plenty of season left to go, but this is a good idea.
