Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Pittsburgh is rumored to be among the current favorites to trade for a superstar wide receiver. After the Brandon Aiyuk trade fell apart, Steelers fans are more than likely sick to their stomachs when hearing the words ‘trade’ and ‘receiver’ in the same sentence.
However, there appears to be some traction to one such trade rumor involving arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL today, current Raider Davante Adams.
Steelers fans have been watching the rumors closely, and now it appears Adams has requested a trade this Tuesday afternoon.
🚨 🚨 🚨 #Raiders star WR Davante Adams informed the team that he preferred to be traded, per me and @MikeGarafolo.

Davante Adams would make the Steelers a Super Bowl contender.
Give Justin Fields more weapons.

If you are the Steelers, do you give up a first round pick for Davante Adams?
I would offer a second and a fourth.
He’s 31 years old so I hesitate giving up a first rounder— Pillsbury JoeBoy (@jpbucco) October 1, 2024
If the Steelers truly pushed all of their chips on the table for Aiyuk, they have the opportunity to make another big play for Davante Adams.
He’s older and expensive – but who cares?
It’s a win now league. And with the highest paid defense in the league – you better win now!
