The Pittsburgh Steelers turned out to be one of the more active buyers near the trade deadline, securing two players. While neither move is the type to change the fortunes of the franchise, they have certainly improved for 2024. But when it comes to evaluating trades, it’s all about the outcome.
“Trades only work if you win, so we’ve got to take care of business”, Steelers captain Cameron Heyward said on Thursday about what message they are sending as active buyers at the deadline. The team added a (presumed) starting wide receiver in Mike Williams. For Heyward’s side of the ball, they also secured proven pass-rush depth in Preston Smith.
