The Pittsburgh Steelers are continuing to add skill players to the offense around new quarterback Russell Wilson.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team is signing veteran slot receiver Scotty Miller to a one-year deal.
The deal will reunite him with his former head coach and current Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who he was with down in Atlanta for the 2023 season.

Miller, a former 6th-round pick in 2019 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is a former Super Bowl winner.
His best season came during that Super Bowl season with the Bucs in 2020.
He caught 33 passes on 50 targets for 501 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns.
He’s more likely to be a WR3 or WR4 on the depth chart just because he is strictly a slot receiver.
His 5-foot-9, 175-pound frame also limits him.
But, that also means his blistering speed will be very evident while on the field.
Among the new skill players that the Steelers have brought in this offseason, the list includes Miller, All-Pro gadget player Cordarrelle Patterson, Super Bowl-winning receiver Van Jefferson, and speedy receiver Quez Watkins.
The team also drafted Michigan national champion receiver Roman Wilson in the third round of the NFL Draft.
These players will join 1,000-yard receiver George Pickens and 1,000-yard backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
Pittsburgh is not messing around while building the offense around Wilson.
This team should have a winning record in 2024, at minimum.
