It was previously written about how crowded the wide receiver room is becoming in Tampa Bay. With the team drafting rookies Emeka Egbuka, expecting the return of injured star Chris Godwin alongside Mike Evans, and the emergence of Jalen McMillan in his absence, they are definitely crowded at the position.
The Pittsburgh Steelers may be willing to help alleviate some of the issue.
According to the below note from Zachary Smith of Steelers Now, the Steelers have inquired as to the availability of speedy wide receiver Trey Palmer.
Palmer, a former sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft from the LSU Tigers, has always shown his ability to take the top off of the defense with his speed, running a blazing 4.33 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. He won a championship in 2019 with the Tigers. As you may recall, that team was loaded at receiver as well with the likes of Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Terrace Marshall Jr.
While he has not put up any eye-popping statistics, he would bring a viable fill-in for the recently departed George Pickens. Palmer has shown very consistent hands, and other than the three fumbles his rookie year, he managed to keep from fumbling in 2024.
The Steelers definitely need the help at receiver, and the Buccaneers are always looking to add more draft capital. If the Buccaneers could manage anywhere from a fourth to sixth round pick for a guy who they are currently not using, it may benefit both teams. They always seem to find talent buried late in the draft, and one example of this is their fourth-round find from last year, Bucky Irving.
