If there was one strong argument to be made on the side of the Pittsburgh Steelers adding WR help at the trade deadline, it’s the question of what the offense looks like in a world where DK Metcalf gets injured. One former GM thinks that by passing on any trades, the Steelers are taking a big chance.
“I do not feel good in the case that, okay, you have somebody that defensive coordinators are scheming to take out of the game in DK Metcalf. Now if he’s gone, there’s no one that really threatens you. So now that whole defensive scheme can be set to shut down those receiving options that are left that are not as dynamic,” Doug Whaley said via 93.
