BREAKING: Steelers Among Favorites to Trade for First-Round WR With Superstar Potential.THANHDUNG

The Pittsburgh Steelers will almost certainly be in the market for wide receiver talent in 2025, and one hot name on the trade market could be New York Jets’ rising star Garrett Wilson.

Wilson has voiced frustration regarding his usage and target share in recent weeks, but the larger issue could be the fact that the Jets are closing out yet another losing season in Week 18. And that’s despite Wilson — the 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year — surpassing the 1,000-yard receiving mark in all three of his NFL seasons.

Bleacher Report writer Alex Kay listed the Steelers as one of the five most likely landing spots for Wilson via trade, let’s say the 24-year-old forces their hand this spring or summer.

“The Pittsburgh Steelers have many of the pieces in place to contend—evidenced by the squad clinching a playoff berth back in Week 15—but they still have an uphill battle to reach the Super Bowl largely because of their offensive woes,” Kay noted. “The most glaring problem with the roster is a lack of receiving talent, an issue that could be quickly remedied via a trade for Garrett Wilson.”

Later, the Bleacher Report analyst argued that the Steelers “would heavily benefit from augmenting [George] Pickens with another elite receiving weapon, a move that would greatly open things up for an offense that currently ranks around the league average.”

“While the Steelers did try to acquire proven pass-catchers during the offseason and up until the 2024 trade deadline—notably putting offers on the table for Brandon Aiyuk and expressing interest in Davante Adams—they were forced to settle for Mike Williams,” Kay reminded. “That move unsurprisingly failed to move the needle and still leaves the Steelers in the market for a new wideout.”
