The Pittsburgh Steelers are in need of bolstering their wide receiver corps after parting ways with the talented but troubled Diontae Johnson, who was traded to the Carolina Panthers. Steeler Nation eagerly awaits to see how Omar Khan and the Steelers' front office will address the void left by Johnson's trade.

In response to this void, Adam Schefter has reported, citing insider sources, that the Steelers are among three teams slated to host a visit with Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams this week.

Former Chargers’ WR Mike Williams is scheduled to visit this week with the Jets, Panthers and Steelers, per source. Jets up first with Williams arriving Monday night.

Williams, known for his explosive playmaking abilities, presents an intriguing prospect for the Steelers as they seek to fortify their offensive arsenal. Despite occasional concerns regarding his injury history, Williams, when healthy, has consistently showcased his talent on the field. This makes him a coveted target for teams in need of receiving firepower. He would have the chance to be a dominant force alongside George Pickens.

Steelers Bringing In Mike Williams Would Be Huge For Russell Wilson

The potential addition of Williams would inject a potent dose of skill and experience into the Steelers' receiving corps, providing their new quarterback Russell Wilson with a talented down field target. As the Steelers look to navigate the offseason and address key roster needs, the visit with Williams signifies their proactive approach to filling the void left by Johnson's departure.
