The Pittsburgh Steelers are actively seeking a wide receiver as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Despite attempts to acquire Brandon Aiyuk and Davante Adams, they have not succeeded yet. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones reports that a trade for Christian Kirk was close but fell through due to his injury.

With Kirk out for the season, the Steelers are exploring options, including Adam Thielen from the Carolina Panthers and Mike Williams from the New York Jets. Both players have had underwhelming seasons, prompting Pittsburgh to consider other potential targets like Kendrick Bourne, Darius Slayton, and Tyler Boyd.
