The Pittsburgh Steelers are going into the 2024 season with expectations of once again being a contender in the AFC.  Signing a quarterback like Russell Wilson will drastically increase expectations of your franchise, even if his time in Denver didn’t pan out the way many thought it might.

Now, with the Steelers, Wilson is looking for a fresh start.  That start will include a 26-year-old who’s eager to make a name for himself.

Our very own Jordan Sigler covered the news Wednesday morning:

Per a statement by the Steelers, the team signed former Jets receiver Tarik Black. The Steelers released defensive lineman Jonathan Marshall to make room for Black:

Black originally signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent following the 2021 NFL Draft. He spent time on the Colts practice squad in 2021, but was released before the end of the season.

Black was signed by the New York Jets practice squad late in the 2021 season and was elevated for the final game of the year, making two catches for 10 yards. He spent part of the 2022 season on the Jets practice squad as well…

Black spent one season at the University of Texas where he appeared in eight games in 2020, finishing with 10 receptions for 240 yards and one touchdown. Before joining the Longhorns, he spent three years at Michigan where he appeared in 21 games, starting nine. He finished with 40 receptions for 507 yards and two touchdowns.

Steelers fans had mixed reviews about the signing, to say the least:
