If the general manager Omar Khan and the Pittsburgh Steelers can find a suitable deal to bring a wide receiver at the trade deadline, they’ll do it. The problem is in finding the deal.
Some of that is thanks to Pittsburgh’s plans, which certainly don’t involve spending premium capital in next year’s draft held in the Steel City. The team will likely need ammunition to move up to select a quarterback, so Khan can’t dig too deep into his pockets while begging for receiving help.
However, another aspect is the reluctance of other teams to trade their wide receivers.
