The Pittsburgh Steelers are actively monitoring the wide receiver market as the trade deadline approaches.
While they secured Van Jefferson and rookie Roman Wilson during the offseason, their depth remains a concern after trading Diontae Johnson. George Pickens has been the team’s standout wideout, but with limited production from others, the Steelers may seek reinforcements.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports that the Steelers have shown interest in top receivers like DeAndre Hopkins from the Titans and Christian Kirk from the Jaguars.
Both players could become available depending on how their respective teams perform over the next few weeks. With the Steelers off to a competitive start, their ability to make a mid-season move could hinge on the performance of their quarterbacks and the team’s overall competitiveness in the AFC North.
The Steelers were involved in the pursuit of Brandon Aiyuk in the offseason, but with his extension in San Francisco, their focus has shifted to other veteran receivers who might be on the trade block.
