Steelers Roster Shake-up: Trades Before Camp?
19 Jul
Summary
- Steelers could explore trades for running back Kaleb Johnson.
- Cornerback Brandin Echols is a potential trade candidate.
- Receiver Roman Wilson might be traded before training camp.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are evaluating potential roster adjustments before their training camp commences in Latrobe, with less than ten days remaining. The team is exploring trade possibilities for several players.
One player on the potential trade block is second-year running back Kaleb Johnson. Despite a disappointing rookie season, teams might still be interested in his potential. The Steelers also have other running backs and a versatile rookie, Eli Heidenreich, making Johnson expendable.
Cornerback Brandin Echols is another player the Steelers might consider trading. Echols offers versatility as both an outside and slot cornerback, which could be valuable for teams needing depth at the position.
Additionally, the Steelers are contemplating a trade for third-year wide receiver Roman Wilson. His production has been minimal, with only 166 yards and two touchdowns in two seasons. With the emergence of rookie Germie Bernard, the Steelers might decide to move on from Wilson and give him an opportunity elsewhere, potentially with the Las Vegas Raiders.
