If the Pittsburgh Steelers are still interested in adding a veteran wide receiver this offseason, another one just became available. The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on April 30 that they have released receiver Zay Jones.
That means Jones will be available in free agency to sign with any team. SI.com’s All Steelers’ Noah Strackbein proposed the Steelers as a potential destination.
“Pittsburgh is hunting for another starter next to George Pickens and to take some of the pressure off of rookie third-round pick Roman Wilson,” Strackbein wrote. “If they want a player who can work as either the two or three, Jones may be their best bet.
“The 29-year-old played just nine games last season, but the year prior, he caught 82 passes for 823 yards and five touchdowns – his best season in the NFL.”
Jones posted 34 receptions, 321 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns for the Jaguars last season. But as Strackbein mentioned, Jones experienced a career year the season prior in 2022.
Jones also recorded 500-yard receiving seasons with the Buffalo Bills in 2018 and Las Vegas Raiders in 2021.
