Epsiode 7 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. We start the pod with some Steelers news. The team signed tight end Izaiah Gathings. They seemed to have cornered the market on tight ends and running backs.
Next we discuss the comment by Russel Wilson that Justin Fields would make an excellent “slash” type weapon in the Steelers offense. While we whole heartedly agree, we can’t help but wonder if Wilson is trying to eliminate the competition. Having said that, we’d really like to see Fields have that type of role in 2024.
Tight ends were a big topic of conversation in this pod. Darnell Washington has been the talk of OTAs. He is poised to have a much bigger role in Arthur Smith’s offense. Pat Freiermuth should have a breakout season in this offense as well. The Steelers should try hard to get him extended before the season, or pay a hefty price later.
We wrap up the pod talking what else, but the wide receiver position once again. Ray Fittapaldo thinks the Steelers will land one of the 49ers big two receivers. Either one would come at a hefty price. Then there’s the looming possibility that George Pickens will have a big season in 2024, meaning he will be looking for a huge bump in pay in 2025. Something to consider before going out and acquiring a player who will demand a big salary.
