The Pittsburgh Steelers are being encouraged to sign a 3-time Pro Bowl wide receiver to their roster ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The team has already made some key offensive additions, including running back Rico Dowdle and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., but there is speculation that the Steelers could look to add even more firepower to their passing game.

Why it matters

The Steelers are looking to bounce back after a down year in 2025 and build a contending team around their new head coach Mike McCarthy. Adding an experienced, Pro Bowl-caliber wide receiver could give their offense a significant boost and help them compete in the tough AFC North division.

The details

The wide receiver in question is Odell Beckham Jr., who is a 3-time Pro Bowler and has expressed interest in potentially joining the Steelers. Beckham has had conversations with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is rumored to be considering a move to Pittsburgh as well. If Rodgers does end up signing with the Steelers, that could increase the chances of Beckham also joining the team to reunite with his former teammate.

  • In August 2025, Beckham said he had conversations with Rodgers about playing for the Steelers.
