The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the market for a wide receiver. That could be drafting a rookie at some point during the 2024 NFL Draft. They could also make a big trade after freeing up extra cap space by reportedly restructuring OLB Alex Highsmith’s contract on Wednesday. Could that be the move that allows the Steelers to genuinely make a move for San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk?
Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson thinks that’s the move for the Steelers. He published a list of trades using first-round picks that “just make sense” on Thursday, and he has the Steelers flipping the 20th overall pick for Aiyuk as one of the five.
