Another day, another Steelers WR trade rumor has broken the internet. However, something about this particular receiver trade feels different. Not only is the November 5 trade deadline less than a week away, but the trade target in question has history with Steelers QB Russell Wilson.
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton, Wilson’s former number one target in Denver, has been linked to Pittsburgh over the past few days. While Steelers fans would love for the team to add more offensive talent, others are growing frustrated with the persistent rumors and speculation that never materialize.
Tony Pauline says the Steelers have a lot of interest in Courtland Sutton: “I am told the Steelers have a lot of interest in the Broncos wideout, but it’s a matter of the team meeting Denver’s asking price, which I’m told is high.” #Steelers #NFL

The San Francisco 49ers attempted to acquire Sutton during the Brandon Aiyuk trade drama, but Denver refused to deal the WR, resulting in Aiyuk staying in San Francisco.
Could the Broncos’ stubbornness, and high asking price, put a halt to Sutton and Wilson reuniting in Pittsburgh? One concern remains certain, the Steelers need another dynamic WR in order to keep up with the rest of AFC.
