The Steelers have less than a week to make a move.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been rumored to add a receiver this season, but have continued to come away empty-handed. From Brandon Aiyuk to Davante Adams to Cooper Kupp, the Steelers have swung for the fences but struck out every time when it comes to acquiring a big-name receiver.
With that in mind, the NFL trade deadline is just five days away, and the Steelers are running out of time and players to potentially bring in via trade. NFL insider Tony Pauline says they have their eye on three receivers in particular ahead of the deadline.
“Sources have attached the names of three receivers the team will look to trade for,” Pauline writes. “They include Darius Slayton of the New York Giants, Mike Williams of the New York Jets and Courtland Sutton of the Denver Broncos.”
Back in April, a source told Behind The Steel Curtain that the Steelers called the Broncos both before and during the draft inquiring about Sutton, but were told no both times. And with the Broncos currently holding a playoff spot in the AFC playoff picture, I wouldn’t see why that would change unless the Steelers offered a second-round pick or a package the Broncos just couldn’t say no to.
