Steelers make no trades at deadline, focus on quarterback future

Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers did not make any trades ahead of the NFL deadline despite being a playoff contender with a 6-2 record. General manager Omar Khan chose to preserve draft picks rather than pursue potential receiver upgrades. ESPN's Brooke Pryor reported that the Steelers' decision centers on their uncertain quarterback situation, particularly with Aaron Rodgers nearing retirement. While wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson have recently been injured, Pittsburgh appears set to rely on existing roster options as they aim for a playoff push. The team now turns its focus to solidifying a long-term quarterback plan after Rodgers, who is in his final season.
