It felt like everyone and their mother knew the Pittsburgh Steelers were trying to trade for a wide receiver, but that doesn’t mean the trade deadline came without surprises. Edge rusher Preston Smith is now a member of the Steelers, with GM Omar Khan giving up very little to acquire him. The move should set the Steelers up nicely at edge rusher for the rest of the season. According to former Steelers offensive lineman Ramon Foster, it sounds like Mike Tomlin has been interested in Smith for a while now.
“Coach [Tomlin] has always been a fan of him since he was in Washington,” Foster wrote Tuesday on Twitter.
