Steelers Floated As Hypothetical Trade Option To Land Bears Veteran

The Pittsburgh Steeles surely will be active ahead of the upcoming National Football League trade deadline.

Pittsburgh is 5-2 on the season and trending in the right direction. The Steelers recently inserted Russell Wilson into the starting lineup and he looked fantastic in his first start against the New York Jets. Pittsburgh could use another weapon for him ahead of the trade deadline, but that isn’t all.

The receiver position has been talked about the most, but the Steelers could use a boost on the offensive line due to all of the injuries piling up. Because of this, USA Today’s Tyler Dragon floated Pittsburgh as a hypothetical option to land Chicago Bears lineman Nate Davis.

“Nate Davis, Bears,” Dragon said. ” Best fit: Pittsburgh Steelers. Davis started the year as a starter, but he was benched after Week 2. The Bears made him inactive in Week 6, a sign that he’s dropped significantly on their depth chart. The Bears signed the former Titan to a three-year, $30 million contract in March 2023.

“He was supposed to be a lynchpin along Chicago’s offensive line, but the Bears are apparently ready to move on. Davis is a talented offensive lineman, but his pass and run blocking declined during his two seasons in Chicago. The Steelers have dealt with injuries along their offensive line since before the start of the regular season. Pittsburgh’s rumored to be in the market for a wide receiver. The Steelers could also shop around for offensive line depth.”

Davis is a six-year veteran who has spent time with the Bears and Tennessee Titans throughout his career. He is just 28 years old and has an upside. He may not be a starter for the Bears any longer, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t help Pittsburgh in a trade.
