The Pittsburgh Steelers are the lone AFC North team who hasn’t made a trade during the season, but that could soon change.
The Steelers are atop the AFC North and with injuries to Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson, the door is open for Pittsburgh to win the division. Yet, the Steelers do still have some holes on their roster and it appears they are looking to make some upgrades.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on Friday that Pittsburgh is exploring trade talks to upgrade its roster.
“Just this past week, three of the four teams in the AFC North — Baltimore, Cincinnati and Cleveland — made trades Tuesday,” Schefter wrote in a piece published on Oct. 10. The only AFC North team that didn’t complete a deal was the first-place Steelers, who are expected to explore upgrading their roster in the weeks ahead of the deadline.
“The teams that are winning want to bolster their rosters and their chances of making an extended playoff run. The teams that aren’t winning are willing to begin looking ahead to the next season and stockpiling draft picks to help replenish their roster.”
