Into the final hour of the trade deadline and the Steelers haven’t sat down at the poker table yet. Is WR the only position they need to go after? Tyreek Hill and Brandon Aiyuk will be available for anyone after the deadline passes, but there should be big-time buyer beware with those two. Perhaps some secondary help to bolster the back end of the defense. We have seen a few other AFC teams get better – will the Steelers join them?
Former NFL QB Ben DiNucci from CBS Sports joined the show. Ben threw out a BIG hypothetical trade out there and got just about the exact reaction he was expecting. Ben thinks Josh Downs would help out the Steelers a lot and brings some things to the table that the team doesn’t have at receiver right now. Ben could see another WR being added could also motivate DK Metcalf a little bit. Ben reacted to some of the other moves made by teams around the league in the last 24+ hours. Ben doesn’t think a team would welcome Brandon Aiyuk into the locker room after he went completely AWOL in San Fran. He would tread lightly on the Tyreek Hill idea too due to the serious injury. Ben talked about how easy Joe Burrow makes it look and why he is so difficult to defend. If you take your chances and allow Chase Brown to beat you, you just have to tip your cap to the Bengals. Ben said he is always a proponent of going to get a player if he helps your chances of winning the Super Bowl.
Deadline Minute – BREAKING: The Chiefs have acquired Josh Downs + a 7th round pick for a 4th & 5th rounder.
