With the trade deadline coming up, the Steelers could be wise to shop around some of their underutilized talents in order to improve the team overall.
The Steelers are a team that is rarely active at the trade deadline. For starters, more often than not, this team is set up to compete, meaning there is little need for the team to ship off talent. As well, the Steelers notoriously like to build their roster through the draft. This means big-ticket trades are rare for the team, as they instead opt to keep their draft picks instead of shipping them out for players.
All of this said the Steelers are in a rare position this year. Considering they are the last undefeated team in the NFL, the team could make a serious push at the Super Bowl this year. There are still holes on the roster though and adding some top-notch talent via trade could push the team over the top. Considering the team doesn’t have a surplus of draft picks, adding a player to a potential deal could help the Steelers land a top player.
With the Steelers competing, trading a player isn’t overly likely, but if it helps the Steelers land a superior player, it may be worth it. These players are all ones that may have fallen down the depth chart or will be a free agent next offseason. If the team can get an upgrade for them, they should look into it before the trade deadline. With all of this considered, here are the Steelers’ best tradable options currently on the roster.
