The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to a contract with free-agent receiver Justin Hunter, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Hunter spent the last two seasons struggling to be productive with the Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, and Buffalo Bills, but caught the Steelers' interest due to his size and speed, adds Fowler.

A former second-round pick, Hunter could provide a deep threat to pair with Antonio Brown. The 6-foot-4 25-year-old averaged 18.9 yards per catch last season and caught four touchdowns on just 10 receptions.
