Report: Steelers trying to trade for star wide receiver

In case you haven’t heard, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a massive hole at receiver.

Just for a quick recap, Pittsburgh traded Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers. They’ve added free agents Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins, but those are depth pieces and rotational receivers at best, not legitimate options to be the No. 2 in the offense.

While reports had been swirling that the Steelers were asking around about a potential trade for a star receiver, those talks reportedly have not gone away.

Speaking on the In The Huddle podcast, CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora said that the Steelers are still trying to make a big trade for a proven receiver.
