Pittsburgh Steelers fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief. General manager Omar Khan pulled off not one but two trades ahead of the trade deadline on Tuesday. First, he flipped a fifth-round pick to the New York Jets to land the long-awaited wide receiver, Mike Williams. Then he sent a seventh-rounder to the Green Bay Packers for edge defender Preston Smith.
Neither move is quite the type that turns the NFL’s landscape on its head by itself. But both moves make sense for the Steelers. And CBSSports.com agrees, viewing both Steelers trades as ones that make sense for Pittsburgh.
