PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have been hunting for another starting wide receiver since before the NFL Draft, and nearly had one complete before it fell through., and that a source inside the building felt confident a deal would get done. Now, according to NFL insider Michael Lombardi, it's been brought to light that that deal almost happened., Lombardi said that a deal was in place between the Steelers and 49ers during the NFL Draft, but it fell apart late, ending conversations.
"There was talk that at the draft that Pittsburgh thought they had made a trade,” Lombardi said. "Whether it was for Deebo or whether it was for Aiyuk, I don’t know. But then things kind of fell apart late" With the 49ers signing Jauan Jennings to a two-year extension, the possibility of making a trade happen still feels alive, but it's unknown how open either side is to negotiating after things stopped.
The Steelers are still likely to add another wide receiver this offseason, with Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel seemingly their best - and possibly their most available - options.Noah is the Publisher for All Steelers, Inside the Panthers and Inside the Penguins , and is the host of All Steelers Talk .
