The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in the middle of another trade rumor for a star wide receiver. Unlike past rumors, this involves perhaps the greatest wide receiver of the past decade, current Raider Davante Adams.
It has been reported by Adam Schefter this Tuesday afternoon that the Las Vegas Raiders are seeking a second-round selection for their 31-year old wide receiver, as well as “additional compensation”.

While a second-round pick may be a bit steep for a player set to turn 32 years old in the coming months, Adams has proven that he is closer to a football deity than he is a regular player.
Pittsburgh could potentially package a wide-receiver such as Calvin Austin or Van Jefferson, along with a second-round and Day three pick to make the trade happen.
They also have the luxury of depth at the middle linebacker position, along with strong depth at the defensive line position as well. Could Steelers offer what other teams can’t, a potentially enticing trade package that includes a proven starter? Fans will have to wait and see as the story develops!
