One of the biggest factors holding the Pittsburgh Steelers offense back this season has been the lack of weapons in the passing game. The front office and coaching staff thought wide receiver George Pickens, tight end Pat Freiermuth and a gaggle of mid-tier players could be an effective group but it hasn’t panned out.
But help could be on the way. After Sunday’s final regular season game, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill basically said he was done with the Dolphins and put himself on the trade market.
Once upon a time, the Steelers went to the Dolphins and traded for a guy who didn’t want to be there anymore and the rest is history as safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has become one of the best safeties in the NFL.

If the Steelers seriously want to make this team better, they need to take a serious run at Hill via trade. Hill had a down season in 2024 mainly because of problems at quarterback with the Dolphins but 30 years old and only one year removed from a 1,799-yard season.
