Steelers Patience Key to Finding Last Linebacker like Isaiah Simmons/Deion Jones | Who Fits 2023 WR3

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2023 roster could still use another linebacker on its roster, and Omar Khan is exploring options. But there's no rush in the current NFL market to finalize the Steelers' plan at the position with players like Kwon Alexander and Deion Jones still in free agency and Isaiah Simmons as a possible trade target for the Arizona Cardinals. Patience will be key for Omar Khan to make the right move again for the Steelers. Also, there's a debate for after Diontae Johnson and George Pickens, who should be WR3? Allen Robinson is an obvious choice, but should Calvin Austin III be overlooked? And when looking at the wide receiver depth chart, how much will a WR3 even get targeted in an offense that looks to establish the run and will have Johnson, Pickens, Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth as primary options before that spot. So there's less pressure for a third wide receiver to be a key player for the offense. A big similarity can be drawn back to the 2005 Steelers when Ben Roethlisberger was in his second year just like Kenny Pickett is now in his second year with the Steelers.
