The Pittsburgh Steelers are eyeing three wide receivers as potential trade targets before the NFL deadline on November 10. Ladd McConkey from the Chargers, Josh Downs from the Colts, and Brian Thomas Jr. from the Jaguars are the names rumored to be linked. McConkey, playing for an 0-6 Chargers team, would require a significant trade investment. Downs is considered a more realistic option, as the Steelers have reportedly made an offer, competing with the Chiefs. Thomas has seen minimal action this season and may benefit from a change in environment, although acquiring him may also be costly.
