While they don\u2019t yet know who their quarterback will be, the chances of it being Aaron Rodgers do look relatively high. Whoever is throwing the ball, though, needs more weapons to distribute it to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Outside of DK Metcalf, the Steelers\u2019 receiving corps was easily one of the worst in the NFL in 2025, and the Steelers currently have just three wideouts under contract: Metcalf, Roman Wilson, and Ben Skowronek. With that in mind, <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25399951-perfect-2026-free-agent-signing-every-nfl-team\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report<\/a> says Seattle Seahawks pending free agent Rashid Shaheed is the dream signing for the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cSigning a speedster like Rashid Shaheed immediately forms the offense closer to what Mike McCarthy likes to work with. Shaheed proved to be a valuable complementary receiver in his nine-game run with Seattle and the playoffs. He could be paid like a No. 2 receiver in Pittsburgh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Shaheed helped the Seahawks win Super Bowl LX against the New England Patriots after being acquired from the New Orleans Saints at the trade deadline. He returned three kicks for touchdowns through the regular season and postseason, and also added 59 catches for 687 yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let us know what you think in the comments.
