The Steelers are talking today to a pair of free agents, both offensive players that could give the team a boost should the black and gold be able to ink one of them.
Saints free agent wide out Lance Moore is meeting today with the Steelers, a player that could be huge should he come to the team since the departure of Emmanuel Sanders and also the up in the air status for Jerricho Cotchery.
In 2012, Moore caught a career-high 1,041 yards. His production went down during the 2013 NFL Season as Saints quarterback Drew Brees found other targets, giving Moore just 37 catches for 457 yards and two touchdowns.
Another player talking to the Steelers is a player that fans know all too well – that being Jaguars free agent running back Maurice Jones-Drew.
MJD is just 28 years old, but there’s a lot of tread on the tires at this point, and it seems his stock is falling lower and lower despite leading the league in rushing just three seasons ago.
Last year Jones-Drew averaged just 3.4 yards per carry after going for 4.4 yards per carry in six of his first seven seasons in the NFL.
If Jones-Drew is sold on the fact the Steelers want to run the ball more with a hopefully better offensive line, it could be an excellent signing, but it’s one that is a long way from happening.
Reports say the New York Jets are also very interested in his services.
