The Pittsburgh Steelers’ recent losing skid made a big trade deadline deal less likely as they slowly slipped out of NFL relevance. But a big Week 9 win against the NFL’s top team injected new life into the season. Even after a win over the Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette insider Gerry Dulac doesn’t expect a big WR acquisition at the trade deadline.
“With the trade deadline coming up on Tuesday, a lot of fans [think], ‘Oh they need a No. 2 receiver’ Well they’re not gonna go out and pay for a No. 2 receiver with any kind of big deadline-day trade,” Dulac said via P-G’s postgame recap on Sunday.
