The Pittsburgh Steelers got another opportunity to perhaps sign the large wide receiver they passed on in free agency after the Denver Broncos unexpectedly cut Josh Reynolds, who had been sidelined since Week 5. When Reynolds was fresh out of college, the Steelers hosted him for a pre-draft visit, demonstrating their interest in him. Later in their careers, the team frequently returns to those guys.
However, each player must first go through waivers before entering actual free agency because it is after the trade deadline. Reynolds, who is currently in the first year of a two-year contract, experienced that. He was claimed by the Jacksonville Jaguars through a waiver claim, but they weren’t the only team to do so. Nonetheless, the Jaguars have a high priority on the waiver market because they are still among the poorest football teams, thus they had no competition to get Reynolds.
Mike Williams and other players like Jamal Agnew, who are on the practice squad, provide the Steelers some roster upside. However, the passing offense surrounding Russell Wilson would have been much improved by the addition of Reynolds, who has been shown to be a top-tier blocker and secondary player.
