Report: Free Agent WR Darrius Heyward-Bey Visiting Steelers

 

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that free agent WR Darrius Heyward-Bey will visit the Steelers on Wednesday.

Pittsburgh could use some help at receiver now that they have lost Emmanuel Sanders to the Broncos, but it’s hard to imagine Heyward-Bey being an answer.

Heyward-Bey, 27, signed a one-year contract worth up to $3 million with the Colts last year after he was released by the Raiders. He would go on to appear in all 16 games for the Colts and total 23 receptions for 309 yards receiving and one touchdown.

Overall, he was a large disappointment for the Colts after they lost Reggie Wayne for the season and were really in need of help receiver help heading into the post season.

Pro Football Focus has Heyward-Bey rated as the No. 107 receiver in the league out of 111 qualifying players.
