The Pittsburgh Steelers claimed veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, assigning him jersey number 16. Thielen, who wore No. 19 throughout his career, joins Pittsburgh to provide depth at receiver amid a quiet season with the Vikings. The move comes as the Steelers released cornerback Darius Slay, who was subsequently claimed by the Buffalo Bills.
Building on the Jacksonville Jaguars' three-year, $60 million extension with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers ($40 million guaranteed), team leaders have praised his immediate impact since arriving via trade from the Las Vegas Raiders. Meyers' reliability and route-running have fueled a recent five-game winning streak.
