Four wide receiver trades the Steelers should make
Behind the Steel Curtain • • sports
Key Points:
- The Pittsburgh Steelers face a significant wide receiver shortage entering Week 6, with Michael Pittman on IR and Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek injured, leaving only three healthy receivers from the initial roster.
- Potential trade targets to bolster the Steelers’ receiving corps include Vikings WR Jauan Jennings, who has a history of solid production and could be acquired for a 2028 fifth-round pick.
- Titans WR Calvin Ridley, a former two-time 1,000-yard receiver now in a limited role, could be a valuable addition for a 2028 sixth-round pick despite being 32 years old.
- Browns WR Jerry Jeudy, though unlikely to be traded mid-season, is considered a potential target for a fifth-round pick, offering experience and depth to the Steelers.
- Jaguars WR Brian Thomas, a 2024 Pro Bowler currently overshadowed by emerging teammates, might be acquired for a third-round pick and would immediately become the Steelers’ top receiver option.
