The Steelers Are Actively Seeking WR Trade Before The NFL Trade Deadline - by Adam Schefter
Pittsburgh, PA — October 10, 2025, 10:50 AM EDT — The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly ramping up efforts to acquire a wide receiver before the November 5 trade deadline, with several names surfacing as potential targets. Fresh off a 4-1 record highlighted by a gritty 23-9 Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns, general manager Omar Khan is eyeing reinforcements for an offense that ranks 26th in big plays (17 through six weeks) and averages 212 passing yards per game.
The push gains urgency from Calvin Austin III's shoulder injury, sidelining the second-year receiver for several weeks and exposing depth issues behind DK Metcalf (135 yards, 3 TDs). Roman Wilson has seen minimal action (1 catch, 7 yards), prompting Khan to explore options. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Steelers have "inquired" about Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, amid his contract dispute. Meyers, earning $33 million over recent years, has 18 receptions for 215 yards and 2 TDs in four games, positioning him as a solid No. 2 complement to Metcalf.
Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox floats Curtis Samuel from the Buffalo Bills. A healthy scratch despite his $7.4 million 2025 salary, Samuel offers versatility (77 catches, 851 yards in 2020) and could come cheaply, perhaps for a 2026 sixth-round pick. Knox notes, “Samuel’s a cost-effective veteran for teams needing depth.”
Behind the Steel Curtain suggests Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins, though Tyreek Hill's injury has tempered discussions. Waddle's 2024 output (72 catches, 1,014 yards, 8 TDs) would inject explosiveness, but Miami's struggles might inflate his price to a second-rounder.
Pittsburgh's aggressive offseason, including the Metcalf trade in March 2025, signals Khan's readiness to deal. With Aaron Rodgers (510 career TDs) seeking better weapons and the AFC North intensifying, a WR addition could propel the Steelers toward contention. As the deadline nears, will Khan strike, or stick with Wilson and Skowronek? Steelers Nation watches closely.

From the legendary days at Candlestick Park to the sacred halls of Canton, San Francisco 49ers icon Roger Craig has finally received football’s highest individual honor. His induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame has sent a wave of emotion throughout the NFL — an announcement that feels overdue, yet perfectly timed.
For generations of 49ers fans, the news represents more than recognition. It represents history finally catching up.
Roger Craig was never just a running back. He was a transformation. In the 1980s, under Bill Walsh’s revolutionary West Coast offense, Craig reshaped what the position could be. While most running backs were measured by brute force and rushing totals, Craig brought intelligence, versatility, and finesse. He could punish defenses between the tackles, then seamlessly shift into a receiving threat, exploiting mismatches with precision routes and reliable hands.
In 1985, Craig accomplished something no player in NFL history had ever done. He rushed for over 1,000 yards and recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards in the same season — a milestone so far ahead of its time that it stood unmatched for decades. Today’s dual-threat backs are celebrated league-wide. Roger Craig authored the blueprint.
His influence extended far beyond statistics. Craig was the heartbeat of a dynasty. As a foundational piece of the 49ers’ offense, he helped deliver three Super Bowl championships, serving as a constant in one of the most dominant eras the NFL has ever witnessed. His durability, consistency, and calm presence in high-stakes moments made him indispensable to San Francisco’s rise.
Yet despite his revolutionary impact, championship résumé, and historic production, Craig waited years longer than expected for football’s ultimate honor. Fans and peers never questioned his greatness — but official recognition remained elusive.
Until now.
This induction feels like a long-overdue correction.
Roger Craig’s legacy is embedded in the modern game. Every running back praised for versatility, every offense built around exploiting mismatches from the backfield, carries his influence. He didn’t just excel within the system — he changed the system itself.
For the 49ers faithful, this moment is one of pride and validation. It honors a player who innovated, sacrificed, and delivered championships without demanding attention. His excellence was quiet, consistent, and undeniable.
Now, Roger Craig’s name stands forever among the legends of the sport. Not only as a Super Bowl champion. Not only as a 49ers great. But as a Pro Football Hall of Famer whose impact transcended eras.
Eternal glory has finally found Roger Craig — and the history of football is richer because of it.
