Not without clearing cap space to do it.

At the moment they have around $7M in cap room according to Over the Cap. They could clear room if they need it by extending BRoeth or by working out a long term deal with Worilds.

While I am looking at it- the Steelers next year have 50 players signed for about $117M. They might finally be past their cap issues after this season. Happy days are here again and they've gotten there without turning themselves into the Jags.

But it doesn't count as rebuilding unless we got rid of everyone I thought

Fear not: Todd Haley believes that the receiving corps is "as deep a group as I’ve been around from top to bottom".

"It's like you get to a point: 'Why me?' Like, I didn't show my loyalty?"
Why you? Because you stunk last year and if you hadn't taken a pay cut you'd have been released and there would have been no market for your services.
