The\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>\u2018 year-long search for a secondary option opposite wide receiver George Pickens in passing game continues as the NFL trade deadline rapidly approaches.<\/p>\n

After missing out on San Francisco 49ers playmaker Brandon Aiyuk this summer, with Aiyuk ultimately re-signing with the Niners, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that\u00a0Pittsburgh has been linked in multiple reports to Davante Adams<\/a>\u00a0after the star formally requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Steelers are unable to pry Adams away from the Raiders, ESPN NFL Insider Dan Graziano suggests Tennessee Titans three-time All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins could be in general manager Omar Khan\u2019s sights.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Amari Cooper] would be one to watch for Pittsburgh,\u201d\u00a0Graziano notes<\/a>. \u201cThough it\u2019d be an in-division trade, and those are tough to execute. I would expect the Steelers to be in on Davante Adams, along with DeAndre Hopkins if he becomes available, and I do wonder about Christian Kirk in Jacksonville.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopkins\u2019 signing with the Tennessee Titans never made that much sense, and Tennessee holding onto the veteran receiver amid wild uncertainty at quarterback makes less sense than ever, given the draft capital he could fetch in a trade to accelerate a rebuild.<\/span><\/p>\n

What DeAndre Hopkins Would Bring Pittsburgh Steelers<\/h2>\n

The Steelers could wind up creating a formidable receiving duo with Pickens\u2019 playmaking ability and ability to stretch the field combined with Hopkins\u2019 prowess as a big-bodied red-zone target, which could elevate quarterback Justin Fields and the offense.<\/p>\n

Hopkins could also benefit from a change of scenery, having pulled down just 10 catches for 121 yards and a touchdown through the first four weeks of 2024.<\/p>\n

Whether Hopkins\u2019 next destination is the Steel City, or if he\u2019s even traded at all, remain to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
