The Pittsburgh Steelers rarely are sellers at the NFL trade deadline, but this year, they could make an exception. Mike Tomlin is hardly conceding defeat in 2025, and his team still holds the lead in the AFC North. But one potential trade piece will be particularly interesting to opposing teams this year.
Pat Freiermuth is seeing a career-low snap count in his fifth NFL season. Over the Steelers' first six games, the veteran tight end has seen the field for just 28 snaps per game. This is largely because 2023 third-round pick Darnell Washington has taken on a more prominent role on offense.
