On Wednesdays, the Pittsburgh Steelers added a wide receiver with Super Bowl experience ahead of voluntary practice OTAs this month. The Steelers have been linked to a few high-profile receivers in recent weeks.
The Pittsburgh Steelers needed to replace Diontae Johnson
The Steelers need to get the most out of veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, who is playing for Pittsburgh on the veteran minimum. The team has a hole on the roster following the trade of Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers. The Steelers added Michigan standout Roman Wilson in the draft to pair with George Pickens, but the team needed another experienced receiver.
The Steelers have been linked to DK Metcalf, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd in recent weeks. Boyd signed with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday. With options being limited in free agency at this point in the year, the Steelers added a former Tampa Bay Buccaneers playmaker.

At 26, Miller has recorded 85 receptions for 1,085 yards and six touchdowns in his five-year NFL career.
