Steelers acquire veteran edge rusher ahead of NFL trade deadline

Surprise! The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t done making moves ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. The Steelers have made a move to bolster their pass rush ahead of Week 10, acquiring edge rusher Preston Smith from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a seventh round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported.

Smith, a former second-round pick of the now-Washington Commanders, is approaching his 32nd birthday in the weeks to come, but still has some gas left in the tank in his 10th NFL season, though it’s been one of his slower campaigns at this point in the season.
