The Pittsburgh Steelers have already made two trade involving wide receivers this offseason. But Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox argued Tuesday the Steelers could make another to acquire Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin.
Knox named the Steelers the top landing spot for McLaurin, who is currently in a contract standoff with the Commanders. Knox proposed Pittsburgh trade a 2026 second-round pick and wideout Calvin Austin III for McLaurin.
“Adding McLaurin would likely mean paying two receivers over $30 million annually. For a franchise without a long-term quarterback plan, that could be problematic,” wrote Knox.
“Through one lens, though, the move would make sense. Pittsburgh is clearly going all-in with Aaron Rodgers this year, and McLaurin’s precise route-running and breakaway ability would mesh well with Rodgers. Looking beyond this season, the Steelers would then have two terrific pass-catchers to help support their next signal-caller.
“Washington could get back speedy receiver Calvin Austin III in this hypothetical deal while sending McLaurin outside of the NFC.”
ESPN’s John Keim reported on July 31 that McLaurin has grown so frustrated with contract extension negotiations with the Commanders that he requested a trade.
“With the sides far apart, McLaurin held out for the first four days of training camp before reporting Sunday. There has been no movement toward a new deal, one source said,” wrote Keim.
