Acquiring seasoned wide receiver, Robert Woods, by the Steelers.
The Skinny:Robert Woods, a 33-year-old seasoned pro, inked a one-year pact with the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, raking in $2 million.
Drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2013, Woods has donned the colors of four distinct NFL teams - the Bills (2013-16), Los Angeles Rams (2017-21), Tennessee Titans (2022), and Houston Texans (2023-24). This new deal marks his 13th NFL season.
Throughout his illustrious career, Woods has amassed 683 catches for 8,233 yards, with 38 touchdowns to show for it. He's also boasted 75 carries for 514 yards and five scores. Taking the field in 171 games (145 starts) over a dozen seasons, he's also made 42 grabs for 449 yards and a single TD in ten playoff games (seven starts).
According to the stats he's averaged an impressive 12.1 yards per catch for his career. Moving forward, Woods looks to make a mark in Pittsburgh, where he'll join the receiving corps alongside George Pickens, Calvin Austin Jr., Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson, and none other than D.K. Metcalf, who arrived via trade from the Seattle Seahawks earlier this year [1][2][4][5].
And there you have it - Robert Woods has traded Texas for the Steel City, bolstering Pittsburgh's wideout corps just in time for their offseason rebound. Here's to a highly productive and focused comeback, Woods!
