Steelers Eyeing Chargers' All-Pro Safety Derwin James
6 Nov
Summary
- Steelers reportedly interested in acquiring safety Derwin James.
- James is an All-Pro caliber defender with extensive NFL experience.
- A trade is possible despite James being on injured reserve.
With the NFL trade deadline approaching, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been linked to a potential blockbuster move for Los Angeles Chargers' All-Pro safety Derwin James. Analysts have suggested James as a target for the Steelers, who are looking to bolster their secondary. James, a first-round pick in 2018, has established himself as one of the league's premier safeties. His career statistics include over 700 tackles, 19 sacks, and 12 interceptions. He has earned multiple All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections. Although James was recently placed on injured reserve on October 31 due to a hamstring injury, an NFL rule change from 2018 permits teams to trade for players on injured reserve. Any potential deal would be contingent on James successfully passing a physical with the Steelers.
