The Pittsburgh Steelers are calling around the NFL for wide receiver help, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. They are one of a few teams that would like to add some help on that front.
"The Steelers are, once again, in the market for a receiver, sources say. Their offense has thrived by featuring multiple tight ends, but the addition of a speed threat to pair with DK Metcalf would help Aaron Rodgers and the offense," Rapoport wrote.
Adam Schaefer of ESPN pointed to the Steelers being a team that would be aggressive in looking to upgrade its roster.
“Just this past week, three of the four teams in the AFC North -- Baltimore, Cincinnati and Cleveland -- made trades Tuesday. The only AFC North team that didn’t complete a deal was the first-place Steelers, who are expected to explore upgrading their roster in the weeks ahead of the deadline,” Schefter wrote.
The one obvious hole for the Steelers is wide receiver, even though Calvin Austin III is expected back agiants the Greena Bay Packers.
There are not many obvious candidates on the open market. Players like Chris Olave, Jakobi Meyers, and Rashid Shaheed could represent the upper echelon of those options for the Steelers.
