For the Pittsburgh Steelers, during the 2018 NFL Draft they decided to part ways with wide receiver Martavis Bryantto acquire a 3rd round draft pick. After all, with Bryant being a 4th round pick himself, it certainly seemed like a great deal for the black-and-gold.
On top of the tangibles on the field, Bryant’s off-field issues certainly had to make pulling the trigger on this trade easier. After being suspended for an entire year due to violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, one more slip up could have him seeing Josh Gordon-type treatment.
