ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says watch out for Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been the center of attention when it comes to the wide receiver market this offseason.
They traded away former third-round pick Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, and have been connected to Brandon Aiyuk for the better part of a month with multiple reports saying they have reached out to the San Francisco 49ers about acquiring the star receiver.
Aiyuk isn’t the only receiver the Steelers have their eyes on, though. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Pittsburgh may end up being the ultimate destination for Denver Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton.
“Denver has received several trade calls on him,” Fowler writes. “Pittsburgh could be a team to watch here.”
Fowler also notes that the Broncos haven’t planned on trading Sutton. However, the top-notch receiver is seeking a new contract with the Broncos. The price for Sutton would be less than that of Aiyuk. Should Pittsburgh go that route, they would address their need at receiver, and also be able to hold onto all of their top draft picks.
