You may or may not have been surprised to learn that wide receiver Stefon Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans, depending on how much you’ve heard about his relationship with the Buffalo Bills organization.
A month prior, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers traded cornerback Donte Jackson and receiver Diontae Johnson, which left a huge void on Pittsburgh’s roster.
There were rumors early in free agency that the Steelers wanted to add a top receiver, and according to a source, the front office of the team made an inquiry about Diggs.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac said in his April 10 fan chat, “I don’t know that for certain, but I would imagine, given their desire to find a proven WR, they made a few phone calls.”
George Pickens, who has never held a professional position, takes over as the number one player on the depth chart for the time being. That ought to unnerve Steelers Nation. At the end of the month, a receiver or two will be selected, but Pickens is the best option unless they acquire a free agent or trade for one.
Diggs would have been ineffective in any case. The goal of the Steelers is to lessen suffering rather than cause it.
