Heading into the 2025 NFL offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot of decisions to make.
First and foremost, the Steelers will have to decide what they want to do at quarterback. Both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are set to hit the open free agency market. More than likely, Pittsburgh will re-sign one of them, but not both.
After that decision is made, the Steelers will need to figure out how to add more talent to the rest of the roster.
Bringing in another weapon for whoever ends up being the quarterback would be wise. In order to do that, the Pittsburgh Steelers could consider trying to steal a weapon away from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Pittsburgh Steelers Could Steal Intriguing Chiefs’ Weapon in 2025 NFL Free Agency
In a new article from Pro Football Focus, they took a look at some potential landing spots for the top quarterbacks and wide receivers in free agency.
When it came to Chiefs’ wideout DeAndre Hopkins, the Steelers were named as a possible destination.
“Hopkins’ 77.0 PFF receiving grade this season shows the 32-year-old still has good snaps left in the tank, which could draw the attention of Mike Tomlin and his staff. The Steelers may have questions at quarterback, but providing whoever ends up under center with a solid tandem on the outside in Hopkins and George Pickens would go a long way.”
Hopkins may not be what he once was, but he’s still more than capable of making an impact.
Throughout the course of the 2024 NFL season split between Kansas City and the Tennessee Titans, Hopkins ended up catching a total of 56 passes for 610 yards and five touchdowns. At 32 years old, those numbers aren’t shabby at all.
Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers would not be getting a superstar by signing Hopkins, they would be getting a quality No. 2 behind George Pickens. That is exactly what they need.
All of that being said, the Steelers are going to be a team to keep a close eye on. They came up short once again this season and will look to put in work to take the next step in 2025.
Adding a piece like Hopkins could be a big step in that direction.
