History Of Steelers Trading For Players Right Before Season Begins Not Lengthy Or Notable

Are you sitting and waiting for the Pittsburgh Steelers to make another trade for a player before the team’s Week 1 game against the Buffalo bills takes place? While its certainly feasible and plausible that the Steelers could wind up trading for player in the next week, based on the history of the team doing so at this portion of season, it’s probably unlikely to happen.

Since arriving in Pittsburgh in 2000, historical transaction records show that Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert has only traded for players five times in total after the team’s final preseason game was played and before the Week 1 game of the regular season.
