A potential trade involving star wide receiver Davante Adams has ignited discussions in the NFL, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly at the forefront of the rumors.
This speculation gained traction after Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce “liked” a social media post hinting that Adams may have played his final game with the Raiders. Following this, Adams officially requested a trade, setting the stage for negotiations.
The Steelers, a team known for actively exploring the trade market for wide receivers, were previously linked to Brandon Aiyuk. Now, with a 3-1 record and a solid start to the season, Pittsburgh may be looking to bolster its offense by acquiring the All-Pro receiver. Rumors suggest the Raiders are seeking a trade package starting with a second-round pick and additional assets in return.
A proposed deal could see Pittsburgh send a 2025 second-round pick, along with third and fourth-round selections in 2026, to Las Vegas in exchange for Adams and a 2026 fifth-round pick. Although Adams is approaching 32 years of age, he remains a top-tier receiver, and acquiring him could be the move that elevates Pittsburgh into serious contention.
Steelers General Manager Omar Khan is expected to act quickly if this offer is on the table, as Adams’ presence would significantly enhance Pittsburgh’s offense. His ability to draw top defensive coverage would create more opportunities for other key players, including wide receiver George Pickens and quarterback Justin Fields.
The Steelers may need to part with valuable draft capital, but in their pursuit of success, it seems a price worth paying.
