Trade deadline for the Steelers

I'm not going to have false hope on that....If it happens and it has a positive impact for the Steelers, I'll be surprised and happy

 

"explore upgrading".... wow, that's some cutting edge analysis by Schefty

 

LoL. The exact same thoughts just went through my mind.

 

I think the Steelers will try to upgrade their roster, I am thinking
OL and WR help.

 

This is equivalent to the weather man stating the sun will rise tomorrow. Have to really wonder about journalism…….

 

With the QB class being underwhelming so far Khan needs to rethink his stance of not wanting to trade any of his 12 picks, if there is a WR2 available they need to make a move.

 

I truly wanted to make a run for Kyle Pitts but given the season he is having?! I seriously doubt that is going to be the case. As for Wide Receivers?! Jakobi Myrers is still my personal preferred target though I wouldn't mind at least inquiring about Garrett Wilson. That said, getting around that contract won't be easy. Jaylen Waddle is my second though @Blast Furnace already pointed out the fact that his injury history gives pause to such an idea.


Chris Olave still is my wild card of the bunch. Same issues as Waddle as far as health goes but it is a one year rental. Some have reported that AJ Brown could potentially be a target but his Contract is also something to consider. A draft pick or two wouldn't be enough. Would the team be willing to move on from Pat Freiermuth?!


With Omar Khan?! Stranger things have happened.

 

Perhaps with the QBs but I personally wouldn't sacrifice too much. As we can both agree, this upcoming crop of QBs.... isn't it. Of the ones that are, Fernando Mendoza V, Ty Simpson and LaNorris Sellers are all likely to be picked within the Top 10. After that?!


Literally a dart throw. QB though isn't my primary problem heading into 2026. Safety, Corner and IOL is. This musical chairs act of them isn't sustainable on the backend and the 2026 crop of FA Safeties don't inspire much confidence either. Other than Caleb Downs (another name that will not be within reach), again a dart throw.


Between me and you?! As it stands currently?! Whomever is the best rated between Corner and IOL should be the 1st Pick. Unless both Jayden Maiava and Dante Moore both declare, Pittsburgh isn't having a shot at any of the aforementioned barring some extreme events for each.

 

Who will be the sellers coming up on the trade deadline?

Titans are building around Ward so I doubt they will be selling off weapons. Same for the Bears. Carolina just did that recently with trading McCaffrey, maybe ready to do it again?

The Jets are looking at the number one overall pick, so trading for more picks may be a good idea for them. They currently have 4 guaranteed picks. I have no idea what their comp situation is.

The Saints are in such cap hell they may be big sellers this year too.


I wonder what it would take to get Marvin Harrison Jr from the Cardinals.

 

Jets are looking at a 5 and 3 7's for comp picks, according to OTC.
