Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin slightly hinted at the possibility of another move before the NFL trade deadline on November 4.
The Pittsburgh Steelers already acquired safety Kyle Dugger from the New England Patriots last week. But the Steelers are a candidate to make another move before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.
That’s what head coach Mike Tomlin suggested while speaking to reporters less than four hours prior to the deadline.
“We’ll see what happens,” Tomlin said with a smile. “I like shopping.”
The head coach then answered a specific question about whether the team could acquire another wide receiver.
“We’ve got a few more hours. We’ll see what happens,” said Tomlin.
The NFL trade deadline is 4 pm ET on November 4.
Mike Tomlin Doesn’t Rule Out Another Steelers Trade
Clearly, Tomlin enjoyed being coy with the media Tuesday. But the conclusion from his press conference was the head coach didn’t rule out the team acquiring another player.
Last year, the Steelers added both wide receiver Mike Williams and edge rusher Preston Smith at the NFL trade deadline. Both acquisitions occurred on deadline day.
