EspañolThere’s a new offensive-minded regime in the Pittsburgh Steelers, and head coach Mike McCarthy will no doubt be looking to acquire additional playmakers this offseason.
At wide receiver, the Steelers are currently down to DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson, with depth questions still looming behind the top two options.
If Pittsburgh ultimately looks to add another explosive option in free agency, Tutu Atwell of the Los Angeles Rams would be an intriguing acquisition.

Fit with Steelers offense
Some have been quick to dismiss Atwell's talent as a result of his subpar stat line last season, but it's hard to fault the wideout when playing with a receiver corps featuring Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
Possessing game-changing speed and a knack for creating huge plays, Atwell could give the Steelers a steal at wide receiver this offseason. Atwell has proved in years past that he's capable of a larger, WR2-esque workload, which is exactly what the Steelers are looking for opposite Metcalf.
Contract prediction
Atwell isn't commanding $10 million annually like the contract he received last offseason, with Spotrac projecting his average annual value at around $2.6 million. The Steelers could get away with signing Atwell to a two-year, $6 million deal.
