The Pittsburgh Steelers are making waves as the 2026 NFL offseason gets underway. Fresh off a 10-7 season and an AFC North title, they're working hard to bring back Aaron Rodgers.
With Rodgers' decision deadline looming, the Steelers are preparing for all possibilities and keeping their options open. One intriguing possibility?
A potential move for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.
But that's not all on Pittsburgh's agenda. They're keen on bolstering their wide receiver corps, aiming to complement DK Metcalf with some fresh talent.
Enter Brian Thomas Jr., a third-year wideout from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Steelers insider Andrew Fillipponi revealed that the team has rekindled talks with the Jaguars about acquiring Thomas, a conversation that dates back to last year's trade deadline.
Thomas burst onto the scene with an impressive rookie year, snagging 87 receptions for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns over 17 games. However, his numbers took a hit in 2025, with 48 catches for 707 yards and just two touchdowns in 14 games. A change of scenery in Pittsburgh could provide the spark Thomas needs to reignite his career, especially with potential quarterbacks like Rodgers, Murray, Kirk Cousins, or even rookie Will Howard at the helm.
As the offseason unfolds, the Steelers' moves will be one to watch. Whether the Jaguars decide to part ways with Thomas remains to be seen, but such a trade could significantly impact Pittsburgh's offensive dynamics.
