Steelers WR Calvin Austin III Nears Free Agency After Inconsistent Season

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III is set to hit free agency after an inconsistent 2025 season where his production dropped to 372 receiving yards, down from 548 in 2024. While his speed remains a legitimate NFL weapon, he struggled with physical coverage and had inopportune drops. Austin also contributed as a returner, scoring a punt return touchdown in 2024. The Steelers are open to re-signing him at the right price, with his market value estimated between $2.5 million and $10 million annually.
