Steelers would regret chasing another wide receiver before trade deadline

Mike Tomlin made it clear that the Pittsburgh Steelers could be buyers at the NFL trade deadline. After trading for defensive back Kyle Dugger from the New England Patriots, Tomlin and the front office may have their sights set on the wide receiver position.

For the past two years at the NFL trade deadline, the Steelers have been rumored to be interested in adding a wide receiver. But their patchwork efforts have always fallen short.

Two years ago, the Steelers traded for Allen Robinson II before the season, believing that the aging receiver would be the answer to their WR2 problems.
