The Pittsburgh Steelers are being watched closely as the NFL's trade deadline quickly approaches. The fan base wants to see the organization add another weapon on the offensive side of the ball, while the defense could also probably use some added depth and rotational pieces. General Manager Omar Khan already went out and acquired safety Kyle Dugger from the New England Patriots, and that move proved to be a good one as Dugger played well in his debut on Sunday. Pittsburgh will look to add some more missing pieces, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the franchise stay put.

Khan is always looking to improve the team, but Pittsburgh is in a tricky spot as it needs to build for the future while also attempting to win now. That means future draft capital is extremely valuable to Pittsburgh, and giving it up in order to win now is a move that will be highly judged if it does not work out.
Team insider Gerry Dulac took to social media on Monday where he seemingly teased some fans about a potential move that could be coming for Pittsburgh ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
NFL trade deadline tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Pittsburgh is certainly calling around the league at this juncture trying to find a good and effective way to upgrade the roster. That could mean bringing in a solidified star, or just rounding out some positions when it comes to depth and positional flexibility. That is every team's goal at the trade deadline, assuming it is a franchise that is trying to win now.

Wide receiver has been the position of need for the Steelers for what feels like years, and there are some good ones around the league that could be moved. The pair of receivers for the New Orleans Saints could be intriguing options for Khan as Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed could be dealt, although New Orleans seems content to keep both players with the organization. Jaylen Waddle is another option as the Miami Dolphins could be looking to get rid of all of their best players to set up for a rebuild.
The most talked about wide receiver has been Jakobi Meyers of the Las Vegas Raiders. He requested a trade ahead of the 2025 season, but the Raiders said they wouldn't be moving him. He has played throughout the duration of his trade request, while also doubling down on his desire to be moved. Las Vegas dropped to 2-6 on Sunday and are currently last in the AFC West division with every other team being above .500, so Meyers being moved elsewhere seems inevitable. A team like the Steelers should be considered a top option.

Steelers Could Move Forward With Current Group At Wide Receiver
Pittsburgh could move forward with the current group at wide receiver if a deal can't get agreed to. Calvin Austin III has returned to full health and was the team's most productive receiver on Sunday, and second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson is finally making strides and getting involved. Pittsburgh could still add some depth at the position, but the Steelers have more talent in the wide receiver room than initially thought throughout the 2025 offseason.
An addition like Olave, Waddle, or Meyers would be nice, but all three of those players have contract questions that need to be answered in the near future. Giving up a pick for a half-year rental wouldn't be smart for Pittsburgh to do in its current situation, so any trade of that caliber would have to come with some financial commitment after the season concludes.
What do you think the Steelers will do at the deadline? Let us know in the comments below!
