The Pittsburgh Steelers have interest in Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen. But the two sides aren’t close on the compensation for a trade to get him. Appearing on the Pat McAfee Show Tuesday afternoon, Schefter said one source told him he “doubts” a deal gets done.
“Pittsburgh’s looking to add a wide receiver and Adam Thielen makes as much sense as anybody,” Schefter told McAfee’s show. “So again, as of a couple hours ago, two sides not close on compensation. We’ll see if anything changes here in the last three and a half hours.”
Thielen is regarded as one of the best remaining wide receiver trade options in a market that’s seen plenty of deals during the season.
