The Pittsburgh Steelers have been at the center of trade rumors

particularly regarding their quarterback position. Here are some key developments ¹ ² ³:

– Trade of George Pickens:

The Steelers traded star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. This move has sparked speculation about the team’s direction and potential quarterback acquisitions.

– Aaron Rodgers Rumors: With Pickens gone, fans and analysts are wondering if veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers could still join the Steelers. Rodgers’ longtime teammate, Allen Lazard, was rumored to be a potential target for the Steelers, but safety DeShon Elliott bluntly dismissed Lazard as “below average”.

– Potential Quarterback Targets: Some hypothetical trade proposals have included acquiring Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. One suggestion involved trading T.J. Watt and George Pickens for Sanders, although this seems unlikely due to Watt’s importance to the team.

– Cleveland Browns Trade Rumors: The Browns have also been linked to potential quarterback trades, including a possible deal with the Steelers. However, no concrete plans have been announced.

– Steelers’ Quarterback Situation: The Steelers’ current quarterbacks, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, had moments of success but ultimately struggled to maintain consistency. The team may explore trading for an established quarterback or moving up in the draft to select a top quarterback prospect.

These developments have fueled speculation about the Steelers’ plans for the upcoming season and beyond.
