Richard Sherman sees Steelers as possible fit for Stefon Diggs

Former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman suggested the Pittsburgh Steelers as a potential destination for free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Diggs remains unsigned ahead of the 2026 season.

Sherman made the comments Wednesday on his podcast. He noted that a team with a young or inexperienced receiving corps could benefit from adding the veteran.

"I think a team with a young receiving corps, an inexperienced receiving corps, could take a shot at him," Sherman said. "Could the Pittsburgh Steelers use him? I think they could."

The Steelers addressed their receiver group this offseason by signing Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard. They also have DK Metcalf on the roster along with younger players such as Roman Wilson and Kaden Wetjen.

Diggs recorded 85 receptions for 1,000 yards and four touchdowns in eight games with the New England Patriots last season. He was cleared of earlier battery charges this offseason.
