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.”
