**3 Wide Receiver Trade Targets for the Steelers After Missing Out on Davante Adams**
With no success in trading for Brandon Aiyuk or Davante Adams, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still in need of help at wide receiver. After the New York Jets finalized their trade for Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, the Steelers were left looking for other options. Despite being involved in talks for both Adams and Aiyuk, they fell short each time.
The Steelers’ need for a wide receiver is evident, especially with ongoing drama surrounding George Pickens. With Adams off the table, here are three potential wide receiver targets Pittsburgh could pursue before the trade deadline.
**DeAndre Hopkins, Tennessee Titans**
The Tennessee Titans are struggling at 1-4, making them likely sellers as the trade deadline approaches. While bigger names might stay, DeAndre Hopkins, in the final year of his contract, could be a more affordable target. However, it’s questionable if Hopkins can still perform as a number-one option at this stage in his career, meaning he may not solve all of Pittsburgh’s issues.
**Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns**
Amari Cooper seems likely to leave Cleveland, as the Browns are open to trading their top wideout. Cooper, who could be available for a Day 3 pick, might even be a long-term option for Pittsburgh beyond 2024. Although the Steelers may wait to see how he fits with Justin Fields and the offense, extending his contract could be a possibility.
**Mike Williams, New York Jets**
After the Jets acquired Adams, Mike Williams could find himself with reduced playing time behind Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard. There’s speculation that the Jets might trade Williams, especially with his history of injuries and inconsistent play. If the price is right, the Steelers could consider a deal for Williams with a late-round pick.
With the trade deadline approaching, the Steelers still have several options to address their wide receiver needs.
