The Pittsburgh Steelers have made their first trade of the month, sending OT Jerald Hawkins to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Greg Auman. The teams will swap late round picks in 2020, per the report.
I can confirm Bucs have traded for Steelers tackle Jerald Hawkins, Pittsburgh's fourth-round pick in 2016. Upgrades their offensive line depth. Bucs and Steelers will swap late-round picks in 2021 draft. @NFLstroud had it first.

Hawkins struggled this year recovering from a torn quad and wasn’t going to make the 53 with the deep offensive line the Steelers have.
