6-2 Steelers reportedly seek wide receiver and cornerback help
The Steelers are reportedly exploring help at both wide receiver and cornerback before the 2026 trade deadline, as they try to strengthen a 6-2 team’s playoff prospects. Wide receiver names repeatedly mentioned include Jacksonville’s Brian Thomas Jr. and Indianapolis’s Josh Downs; FOX Sports writers separately predicted Pittsburgh could pursue each, while ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said one or both could be moved and listed Calvin Ridley as a fallback option. A report also suggested New York Giants receiver Darnell Mooney could be available, though he has not been specifically linked to Pittsburgh and is coming off a quiet season. Jordan Schultz reported that the Steelers are expected to seek cornerback help as well, but no specific target or completed deal was identified.
