Steelers Urged To Acquire Broncos $60 Million Receiver At Trade Deadline

What's next for the Steelers?

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be one of the most intriguing teams to watch ahead of the National Football League trade deadline.

Pittsburgh currently holds the top spot in the AFC North with an impressive 6-2 record. The Steelers have had plenty of question marks throughout the season, mainly revolving around the quarterback spot, and yet they have continued to find ways to rack up wins.

The Steelers are in a fantastic position and could get even better if they are able to find away to add another playmaker ahead of the National Football League trade deadline on Tuesday.

Plenty of players have been floated as fits, and Bleacher Report’s scouting department urged the team to look into landing Denver Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton.

“Add Now: Trade for WR Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos,” Bleacher Report said. “If the Steelers are going to make a serious run in the playoffs, they are going to need a better No. 2 option. Russell Wilson is playing well, and George Pickens continues to impress, but the talent at the top of the AFC requires at least some firepower to keep up.

“Calvin Austin III is emerging as a decent deep threat, and Van Jefferson is a reliable veteran. However, adding someone like Courtland Sutton would allow everyone to play a more natural role, take some of the pressure off Pickens, and give Wilson more weapons to attack defenses. The Broncos have acknowledged receiving offers for Sutton this season but haven’t made it clear if they’re willing to deal him at the right price.”

Sutton signed a four-year deal with the Broncos worth over $60 million and is under contract for the 2025 season as well. This could be the perfect deal for Pittsburgh.
