Mike Tomlin expressed that the Pittsburgh Steelers want to be 'buyers' at the NFL trade deadline, but they were beaten to the punch just on this one. Just hours before the 4 pm ET deadline, the Las Vegas Raiders traded wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
Meyers was the biggest name linked to the Steelers during trade talks in the month leading up to the deadline. The Raiders' wide receiver is experienced with size and natural ability to win out wide or from the slot. With Pittsburgh's receivers greatly lacking production this season, adding an experienced weapon seemed like a move that was on the table.
