Steelers consider trading Cole Holcomb ahead of trade deadline

Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly exploring trade options as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Inside linebacker Cole Holcomb has emerged as a potential trade candidate, although the team is primarily focused on enhancing their wide receiver corps during the bye week. Holcomb has lost playing time due to the strong performances of Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson. However, his performance as a run-stopping linebacker reflects starter-level talent in the AFC. As the deadline nears, the Steelers' decision on Holcomb may impact their defensive lineup moving forward.
