The Steelers are in the market for a pass-catching tight end, and they may have found one who is tired of waiting for a chance on his current team.
According to Albert Breer of the NFL Network, Chargers tight end Ladarius Green is scheduled to visit Pittsburgh later today. ESPN’s Adam Schefter says he’s expected to sign.
With Antonio Gates re-upping with the Chargers, and Heath Miller retiring and leaving a sizable hole in the Steelers passing game, there’s plenty of opportunity for Green.
He caught 37 passes for 429 yards and four touchdowns with the Chargers last year, as the former fourth-rounder has continued to steadily increase his role.
If he goes to Pittsburgh, he’ll have plenty more chances.
