A couple things would have to go wrong for this Steelers tackle to be shipped out

In what could be the biggest scenario to watch play out in terms of a trade out of Pittsburgh could be a tackle. Dan Moore Jr. will first battle Broderick Jones for the starting spot at left tackle, but it could get interesting if Jones wins. That will force Moore to either slide into a swing tackle role or potentially try his hand at the other side.

It has been highly reported that Moore worked at both sides during his offseason training and could look to make that transition if necessary. If Jones does show early on that he is the answer on the left side, then Moore could jump over to battle Chuks Okorafor for his starting spot at right tackle. It would be some interesting theatre to watch play out.

No one is expecting the possibility of Okorafor being a potential trade option heading into training camp. If Jones is the guy on the left and if Moore can dethrone Okorafor, then it is possible that he could become expendable. He carries a heavy contract and has not been a quality starter, despite holding that title for a while now.

If another depth piece in camp proves to be a good enough swing tackle option, this scenario could even become more likely. There are no guarantees of this happening, but it would make a lot of sense if these certain scenarios played out. Okorafor would be a nice depth piece, like Moore if either loses a starting job, but Okorafor would be a hefty price for a depth guy.
