I can’t quite frankly recall the last time that the Pittsburgh Steelers have ever traded a player away during the course of a season before yesterday, when they sent third-string quarterback Joshua Dobbs to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick.
They have in recent years made an in-season trade to acquire a player, at least off the top of my head. In 2013, they sent a conditional draft pick to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for tackle Levi Brown, who was injured before his first game.
