According to multiple sources including NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport, the Steelers are working on a trade to acquire Jets inside linebacker Avery Williamson.
Pittsburgh has spent the last two weeks adjusting to life without Devin Bush and the results have been mixed.
Robert Spillane is a physical run-stopper but lacking in overall athleticism. The Steelers were hoping to utilize Ulysees Gilbert as the coverage linebacker but he was injured and missed Sunday’s game.
Williamson is a seven-year veteran, has spent the last 2+ seasons with the Jets, and is in the final year of his contract.
Williamson spent all of the 2019 season on IR with a torn ACL and was just activated before the start of the 2020 season
