Steelers Banking On Better Results From Player Trades Than In Recent Years

The Pittsburgh Steelers made it four consecutive years yesterday in which they have acquired a player via trade late in the preseason who would go on to be featured on their 53-man roster. This year’s new face is wide receiver Ryan Switzer, a second-year player whose primary responsibility will be as a return man.

Let’s hope that the team’s recent past will not be indicative of the fortunes that they will face with their latest acquisition. While they have not given up a great deal of value in the trades that they have made to acquire players over the past four years, they have also gotten very little in return.
