It took four games but the Pittsburgh Steelers offense found some traction last week against the Indianapolis Colts. However, the bulk of the scoring came thanks to the legs of quarterback Justin Fields.
With Fields continuing to get better each week, it feels like the addition of a reliable, veteran wide receiver is exactly what this team needs to improve consistency and efficiency in the passing game.
Free agency has little or nothing to offer at this point but with several teams getting off to slow starts, there could be a handful of veterans who might be on the market Pittsburgh should consider.
We have included the three guys who came to mind first for us. First and foremost is Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams. The Raiders are 2-2 but the worst team in their division and might want to part with Adams to get draft capital to land a quarterback next year.
We also see Tennessee Titans DeAndre Hopkins and Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Christian Kirk as potential trade targets. Both guys would be huge upgrades to Van Jefferson or Calvin Austin III and wouldn’t cost a ton in terms of draft picks. If the Steelers are serious about competing this season, any of these three makes the offense significantly better.
Cast your vote and let us know which veteran you would trade for or maybe you don’t think the Steelers need another wide receiver. We’ve got you covered too.
