If the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to make a trade for a player, it’s going to come very soon. Perhaps even later today. They have acquired at least one player via trade during training camp and the preseason every year since 2013, starting with Felix Jones in a player-for-player trade and ending, to date, with Ryan Switzer’s acquisition last year.
Player-for-player trades are rare, however, and right now, it may look as though they are as likely to trade away a player as to acquire one, if not more so. And that could come when the initial 53-man roster comes out.
