And while their corps has seen a respectable upgrade, Richard Sherman believes they could get even better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Speaking on his self-title podcast, the former cornerback suggested that the Steelers sign free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI think a team with a young receiving corps [or] an inexperienced receiving corps could take a shot at him,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G4lj38a8f-Q\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sherman said<\/a>. \u201cMaybe the Cleveland Browns. Could the Pittsburgh Steelers use him?

When healthy, he has been one of the most consistently dominant receivers of the last decade, hauling. In each of the last seven seasons in which he has played in at least 15 games, Diggs has topped 1,000 yards in all of them. He was a First-Team All-Pro in 2020 and a Secod-Team All-Pro in 2022 with the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Let us know what you think in the comments.
