The Steelers are interested in free agent receiver Steve Breaston, but they aren’t the only AFC North team with interest.

Breaston will visit the Browns this week, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Other teams reportedly interested in Breaston’s services include the Lions, Cowboys and Titans. Breaston, who was cut by the Chiefs last week, can sign at any time, which means a team that’s eager to shore up its wide receiving corps may try to move quickly and sign Breaston now, before the free agent floodgates open on March 12.

The 29-year-old Breaston has shown promise at times in his career with the Cardinals and the Chiefs, going over 1,000 yards in 2008 and over 700 yards in three other seasons. But last year he was largely phased out of the Chiefs’ offense and had just seven catches for 74 yards.
