Pittsburgh, PA. The Pittsburgh Steelers are saying farewell to one of their energetic young receivers as the team continues navigating roster changes during the 2026 offseason. A familiar offensive weapon is now beginning a new chapter elsewhere in the league.<\/p>\n
Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million with the New York Giants, according to league reports.<\/p>\n
The move gives the Giants another speedy target for their offense while bringing Austin\u2019s three-year tenure in Pittsburgh to an emotional close.<\/p>\n
Originally selected by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Austin developed into a versatile deep threat capable of playing both outside and in the slot.<\/p>\n
Despite standing just 5-foot-9, the Memphis product built a reputation as a fearless and explosive playmaker.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the deal with New York became official, Austin shared a heartfelt message thanking the city and the fans who supported him throughout his time in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
