So Pierce will be the top receiver target getting that big money.
He's a big play machine, and he can be a possession guy when he wants to be.
His catch percentage and success rate have improved every single season, regardless of who the Colts have had throwing him the football.
Jennings, he's more of a late bloomer.
both when he entered the league at 24 years old and when it came to rolling in the 49ers offense.
He's been the beneficiary of injuries in San Fran, but as a former coach here once said, or often said, one man's misfortune is another man's opportunity.
His last two seasons with the 49ers have been an average of 916 yards
and 8.5 touchdowns.
I think he is a great possession-wide receiver.
Not someone that will beat defenses over the top with regularity, but I think he is a good complement in any offense that has a big play threat the way that DK Metcalf has been.
The Steelers were hurting for an underneath wide receiver that could consistently move the sticks.
Quite frankly, they haven't had that since Juju Smith-Schuster moved on a few years ago.

I put both of them in the number one slot.
I didn't want to take up two spots for two separate wide receivers.
I could have also been...
and asked and just took up all five spots with receivers if I wanted to.
The number two name on this list, and you'll like this one, Austin, because ESPN has connected this guy to the Steelers.
He is their 44th best free agent.
That will hit the open market in a couple of weeks.
