Steelers Trade Chatter Now Involves A Veteran Defender
The Steelers inside linebacker group has been one of the steadier parts of the roster this season, but the trade market may still bring a surprise before the NFLs Nov. 10 deadline. According to Sports Illustrateds Albert Breer, Pittsburgh is at least considering moving a veteran defender who has had only a limited role this year after joining the team in 2023.
The name in the chatter is Cole Holcomb, whose Steelers tenure has already been shaped by a lost 2024 season because of a knee injury.

The Steelers are already being linked to the kind of trade chatter that tends to follow a team with clear roster questions and enough season left for the front office to keep its options open. Ahead of the 2027 NFL trade deadline, Pittsburgh has been mentioned in speculative talks around wide receivers and defensive backs, a sign that the club is at least surveying ways to strengthen both sides of the ball if the right deal surfaces.
Among the names floating around are Josh Downs, Hollywood Brown, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston at receiver, along with Riq Woolen, Donte Jackson, Cam Hart and Amani Hooker in the secondary.

Steelers Trade Deadline Could Reveal How Serious They Are About Winning
The Steelers are again in the familiar spot of weighing whether the trade deadline is the right time to make a real push, and this time the focus is squarely on wide receiver. Injuries and depth concerns have left the position looking thin enough that any move would say as much about the front offices confidence in the roster as it would about the immediate need on the field.
For Omar Khan, the decision carries extra weight because Pittsburgh has not always been eager to part with draft picks in these moments. If the team decides to stay put, it will have to lean on what is already in-house and hope the current group can hold up through the stretch run, a path that would leave the Steelers postseason ambitions feeling a little more precarious than they would like.
