The Pittsburgh Steelers’ search for a WR2 continues after the team failed to acquire Brandon Aiyuk this offseason. With Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams now on the market, Pittsburgh is making a bid to become the star receiver. According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Steelers are making an “aggressive” offer for Adams.

“The Pittsburgh Steelers, who you may recall were interested in trading for Brandon Aiyuk before he signed an extension with San Francisco this summer, are also in contact with the Raiders’ front office. I’m told Pittsburgh is making an aggressive offer,” Russini wrote.

The Steelers have competition for Adams, with the New York Jets currently the biggest threat due to Adams’ relationship with QB Aaron Rodgers from their time with the Green Bay Packers. The New Orleans Saints, with Derek Carr, Adams’ former quarterback in Las Vegas, also loom as a threat, as do Pittsburgh’s rivals in the Baltimore Ravens.

Adams is reportedly open to playing for Pittsburgh, so if they make a good enough offer, they could get a major upgrade to their receiving room opposite George Pickens. Besides Pickens, Calvin Austin III was the biggest threat in the passing game as a receiver, but he is a slot receiver and the Steelers need outside help. Adams could be a key weapon and provide a huge boost to the Steelers’ offense, and at 3-1, it could be the push the team needs to get over the hump in a crowded AFC.

Adams is currently dealing with a hamstring injury that has delayed the process of a trade, and he will miss this week due to the injury. But once he’s healthy enough to play, trade talks are expected to intensify, and with the Nov. 5 trade deadline approaching, the Raiders have just a month left to move Adams.

Currently, the team is looking for a second-round pick plus additional compensation for Adams, which feels a bit rich. Still, a team might be willing to give up assets if it thinks it has a chance to restructure Adams’ contract so he can stay at a lower price beyond this year.

After missing Aiyuk and having a good start to the season, Pittsburgh makes sense to continue upgrading the receiver room, especially with Justin Fields emerging at quarterback. Adams is the best possible option on the market right now, and it would be a huge boon for the Steelers and GM Omar Khan.
