The Pittsburgh Steelers were a team starved for pass-catchers before trading wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys on May 7.
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.
Sources: Former Bills and Jaguars WR Gabe Davis is scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh on Wednesday to visit with the Steelers on Thursday.
