Pittsburgh Steelers’ trade speculation continues to march on — but one insider believes their sights are no longer focused on Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill, but instead on a Las Vegas Raiders pass catcher.
On Wednesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano discussed the Steelers‘ possible trade interest in wide receivers. Fowler hinted at a continued pursuit of Hill, whereas Graziano believes Pittsburgh could switch gears and instead target Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers — who requested a trade a month ago.

“I feel the Steelers have pivoted a bit, and if they make an in-season move, it would more likely be to help their struggling defense,” Graziano wrote. “But since you were asking about receivers, I remember Jakobi Meyers asking for a new contract from the Raiders in the offseason and then asking to be traded when he didn’t get one. If Las Vegas tumbles out of contention and he’s not in its long-term plans, he could help someone down the stretch.”
Should the Raiders’ early struggles continue, Meyers would be the perfect trade candidate for Pittsburgh — alleviating the desperate need for talented pass catchers in the Aaron Rodgers-led offense.
