After the huge news of the Wilson deal, the Steelers should be calling the Seahawks about acquiring these five players.
The NFL witnessed the first huge trade occur this offseason when Russell Wilson getting dealt to the Broncos. This mega-deal seems to insinuate that the Seahawks will settle into a rebuild as they are now without a quarterback.
The Steelers should come calling about some of their other assets, as adding a talented veteran from that roster on the cheap would be a huge boost to this roster. Here are five veterans that the Steelers should try and trade from the Seahawks.
Steelers should trade for Robinson
Not a huge name nor one that is suddenly available because of the Wilson deal, Alton Robinson has been a stead edge player for them since being drafted. A perfect size for the Steelers scheme, Robinson would provide valuable depth and have the ability to rotate in and out of defensive plays. The team was lacking at edge depth this past season, so getting a capable reserve would be a boost.
Robinson has also found some mild success as a pass rusher so far in his career. He has been able to get to the quarterback five times over the past two seasons despite just being a reserve. While not a dynamic presence on defense yet, he has done more than enough to warrant consideration from the Steelers as a reserve. He would be a cheap addition to this roster to help fill out their edge-depth room.
