Steelers Already Floated As Possible Fit For Bengals Wide Receiver

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a fantastic spot right now.

Pittsburgh was one of the most active teams in football ahead of the 2024 National Football League trade deadline and finally landed a new wide receiver to pair with George Pickens.

The Steelers landed Mike Williams in a trade with the New York Jets, and now their offense could take an even bigger step forward. Pittsburgh is 6-2 on the season and already is in first place in the division and now has another playmaker for quarterback Russell Wilson to throw to.

Now that the trade deadline has passed, speculation about who the Steelers could pick up in free agency after the season already has started, and Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins was mentioned as a fit by Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox.

“As of now, Tee Higgins figures to be the most coveted wide receiver in 2025 free agency,” Knox said. “He’s only 25 years old (26 in January) and has consistently thrived as Cincinnati’s No. 2 receiver opposite Ja’Marr Chase. With 1,000-yard campaigns in both 2021 and 2022, Higgins has shown enough to suggest he could be a true No. 1 receiver in a different offense. He has an elite combination of size (6’4”, 219 lbs) and ball skills with enough downfield ability to threaten all areas of the field…

“Should Higgins reach the open market, the rival Steelers should be in hot pursuit. His skill set would make for a perfect match opposite the similarly talented George Pickens…Potential Suitors: Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans.”

Pittsburgh is building something special and adding Higgins to the mix would be a good move, although it’s too early to predict
