The NFL trade deadline is approaching, with less than two weeks remaining, and several teams have alrhe Buffalo Bills secured Amari Cooper shortly after the New York Jets acquired Davante Adams.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs made headlines by picking up DeAndre Hopkins early Wednesday morning.
Could the Pittsburgh Steelers be next? According to SportsBettingAg, the Steelers are the frontrunners to land Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, with odds set at -125. Other teams in the running include the Los Angeles Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Steelers have been consistently linked to wide receiver trade rumors. For months, they were involved in speculation around Brandon Aiyuk, though he ultimately stayed with the San Francisco 49ers. Pittsburgh was also reportedly interested in Davante Adams before he was traded to the Jets.
Adding Kupp to their roster would be a significant boost for the Steelers. His ability to create separation from the slot and his versatility to play on the outside would make him a valuable asset. However, concerns about his injury history, age, and salary raise questions.
Would the Steelers be willing to part with a second-round pick for the 31-year-old, or could they negotiate for a lower price? Either way, Kupp’s presence would immediately strengthen Pittsburgh’s offense.
