A new Pittsburgh Steelers rumor suggests that after failing to land Brandon Aiyuk before the season, the team is now targeting another trade for a superstar receiver.

The Steelers head into their Week 5 Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys with an impressive 3-1 record. It has been a good start for the team despite a frustrating loss on the road in Indianapolis last week. While the team is a legitimate playoff contender, they are still a piece or two away from being a threat to reach the Super Bowl.

The front office understood that early on. And it’s why they made a hard push to make a trade for 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk before the season started. Various reports and rumors suggested they were very close on a deal done if not for a change of heart by Aiyuk late in negotiations. Well, it seems the Steelers have begun a new pursuit for a game-changer receiver.

On Wednesday afternoon, The Athletic NFL insider Dianna Russini reported that “The Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in trading for Davante Adams, according to a source. There have been discussions and both sides are keeping an open line of communication.”

The momentum behind a Davante Adams trade picked up steam over the last week. After the Las Vegas Raiders fell to 2-2, and new rumors suggested the organization was actively taking offers for the six-time Pro Bowler. Furthermore, head coach Antonio Pierce surprisingly liked a social media post about Adams’ days in Vegas being numbered.

While the 31-year-old is in the final years of his prime, he is still an elite talent and would be a huge addition to a Steelers offense that needs a game-breaker talent in the passing game.
