Just because the meat of NFL free agency is over and the Pittsburgh Steelers stole the show, it doesn't mean the moves are done.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Steelers will be hosting free agent WR Mike Williams for a visit later this week:
Mike Williams to Pittsburgh?
As Schefter laid out in the video above, the key phrase here is "scheduled" to visit. Oftentimes, when teams really have their eye set on a player, there's a saying that "they won't let him leave the building."
It points to the fact that the team floats the contract on the spot and has the free agent sign right there.
And with the Jets up first, followed by what could be the Panthers and then the Steelers, Pittsburgh may have to get through two of those scenarios to sign him.
The large question however is should they?
The team is interested in him, evidenced by the scheduled visit. But given his recent injury history and potentially large contract when considering how dynamic he has been while healthy, you have to wonder if Pittsburgh would just be better off drafting a WR to replace the recently traded Dionate Johnson, as opposed to buying one.
Update: Williams to meet with the Steelers on Thursday, March 21st
