For months, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been on the lookout for a wide receiver. For months, I’ve supported that pursuit and believed they would land someone. Now, with days until the trade deadline and options drying up, it’s worth wondering if they should dance with who has brought them to 6-2.
You know the list of names come and gone. Brandon Aiyuk. Davante Adams. Those were the real “needle movers.” Deandre Hopkins, Cooper Kupp, and Christian Kirk were in tiers below, deals more complicated because of age, talent, skillset, contract, or all of the above. None will become a Steeler by Tuesday’s deadline.
