For months, the Pittsburgh Steelers were players in the market for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, Despite the potential cost in a trade as well as a huge new contract, Pittsburgh was in the mix until the very end but missed out on adding Aiyuk.
Now there is a new option in Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams. Adams wants out of Vegas ASAP and with a month to the trade deadline, he looks to be on the move.
Obviously, the Steelers will be mentioned and we are confident that Pittsburgh will at least make a call about Adams’ availability. Critics of the notion point to Adams’ contract but honestly, we don’t see the problem.
Adams, 31, is in the third year of his 5-year/$140M contract and is due a base salary of $35.640 million in 2025 and 2026. Those last two years are both non-guaranteed years so Adams could be an interesting one-year rental with the wiggle room for Pittsburgh after the season.
