Steelers consider trading Asante Samuel Jr. as camp approaches
Summary

Pittsburgh Steelers insider Mark Kaboly has indicated that cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. could be on the trading block. If third-round rookie Daylen Everette performs well in training camp, Samuel might be moved for a late-round draft pick. Samuel, who underwent spinal fusion surgery in April 2025, joined the Steelers' practice squad last season and was later signed to the active roster. The situation hinges largely on Everette's development during the offseason.
