There aren’t a lot to choose from, but it’s hard to find a better in-season trade the Pittsburgh Steelers have made over time than the one that they pulled the trigger on early last year. No, I’m not talking about Nick Vannett, surprisingly enough, but rather Minkah Fitzpatrick, a former first-round safety in his second season who finished the year as a first-team All-Pro.
Acquired after two games of play, Fitzpatrick, who was selected 11th overall by the Miami Dolphins in 2018, would play the final 14 games of the year for the Steelers, taking over the free safety position after Sean Davis suffered a season-ending injury in Week Two.
