Mike Tomlin hints Steelers could add another starter before start of season: ‘Never say never’
Could the Pittsburgh Steelers look to add someone to the roster before their Week 1 game against the New York Jets? Moreover, could that player be someone of significance?
In a chat with Bob Labriola of Steelers.com, Tomlin would not rule out the Steelers landing someone of significance if the right opportunity came along.
“You never say never. As I mentioned, somebody could call with a high level of urgency and change those plans. And so I just learned through experience over the years to take things as they come. We’ve certainly had an active offseason, but all of these opportunities kind of came at us individually. I don’t know that you could characterize it as a collective agenda. We were fortunate to get some of these things done and acquire some top-notch players. And I’m open to that continuing, if it presents itself and it presents itself in an appropriate way,” Tomlin said.
The likeliest position the Steelers could make a splash, wide receiver would be the one spot that could make a lot of sense. The team hosted wide receiver Gabe Davis for a visit earlier this week.
Roman Wilson has stepped up in a meaningful way for the Steelers, but the team has explored bigger-bodied wide receivers on the outside throughout the offseason.
After the Steelers traded George Pickens, they still have not seen someone truly come along and replace what he could do, so someone on the trade or free-agent market could be in order for that position.
