Now, the matter seems to have acquired even more urgency. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Steelers are attempting to court two pass-catchers with varying levels of projected success.

Per Schefter, wide receiver Gabe Davis—a former consistent contributor to the Buffalo Bills whose 2024 with the Jacksonville Jaguars was truncated by a torn meniscus—is visiting Pittsburgh Thursday.

Additionally, the Steelers are said to have inquired into the availability of Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith. Their bid for Smith, who enjoyed a career year in '24, has not been successful.

Pittsburgh seems to be putting substantial stock in 27-year-old ex-Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK. Metcalf, who the team acquired on March 9.

 

The Steelers are scheduled to open their season on Sept. 7 against the New York Jets.
