Steelers Reach Verbal Agreement to Sign 2x All-Pro WR After Final Preseason Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers capped off their preseason with a major headline that has sent shockwaves through the NFL. According to team sources, the front office has reached a verbal agreement with a two-time All-Pro wide receiver, marking one of the boldest moves of the offseason.

The deal, while not yet official, represents Pittsburgh’s push to strengthen its receiving corps and give Aaron Rodgers another reliable weapon ahead of the 2025 regular season. Steelers fans have long clamored for another proven target to line up alongside George Pickens, and now that wish appears to be closer to reality.

At this stage, the agreement is still pending final steps. Medical evaluations are expected to be completed in the coming days, an important checkpoint considering the wideout suffered a significant injury last season. Should the veteran pass his physical, the signing is expected to move forward swiftly. If not, the deal could collapse before ink meets paper.

Speaking after news of the agreement broke, the receiver shared a heartfelt reflection on his decision to leave behind his old team and embrace a new beginning in Pittsburgh:

“In Washington, I felt let down time and again — promises that never turned into action. But here, it feels different. The energy, the belief, the culture... I feel like I’m finally where I’m meant to be. This isn’t just about football; it’s about trust, and Pittsburgh has already given me that.”

That receiver is Terry McLaurin, the 2x All-Pro who spent the first six years of his career with the Washington Commanders. Known for his route precision, toughness, and leadership, McLaurin recorded over 1,000 yards in four of his six seasons and brings both experience and stability to a Steelers offense looking to return to championship contention.

While the contract details remain unofficial, the significance of the move cannot be overstated. For a Steelers team already rich with defensive star power and a rejuvenated offensive line, the addition of McLaurin could be the missing piece in their pursuit of Super Bowl LX.
