Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson is heading to the Tennessee Titans. Jefferson, who became the Steelers’ WR2 this season after failing to land an upgrade, had just 276 yards on 24 receptions with two touchdowns.

Jefferson came over with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith from the Atlanta Falcons. Now, he heads back to his hometown of Brentwood, Tennessee, to play for the Titans. Similarly to this year, Jefferson should have a real chance to play a significant role with no true second wide receiver next to Calvin Ridley in the Titans offense.

Jefferson’s best years came as a deep threat in the Los Angeles Rams’ scheme, but since 2021, he has been unable to find any consistency in his game. He did grow as a blocker this year with the Steelers, and that is now a useful part of his game that can be utilized by an offense.

The Steelers could look to add a veteran to the roster for outside wide receiver depth, but it will not be Jefferson, who is heading elsewhere.
