Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins reacts to making a first down after being tackled by Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. during their NFL football game Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023, in Nashville, Tenn.After a hot 3-0 start to the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are back to sniffing on the trade hunt for wide receiver help.
Dan Graziano of ESPN says the Steelers are expected to pursue wide receiver help at the trade deadline.. “Tennessee’s DeAndre Hopkins and Jacksonville’s Christian Kirk are two veterans who could conceivably become available and might be appealing to the Steelers if their teams continue to lose and fall out of the playoff race.”
Hopkins and Kirk are just two names that make sense right now, but that might not be the answer by the time the deadline does roll around. The Steelers need help for Pickens. With rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson still getting up to speed and the rest of the room proving to be inconsistent, another legitimate starter would be a huge help to the Steelers’ passing offense.
Wide receiver is the biggest issue on the team’s roster now. There could be bigger issues that arise through injuries, but Pittsburgh has looked much better in the passing game than expected because of the play of Justin Fields. They need to raise the offense’s ceiling by adding another wide receiver that can work within the team’s dropback game since their play-action passing game is going almost nowhere at this point in the season.
