The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off free agency by getting themselves the quarterback upgrade they needed and signing Russell Wilson.
That move combined with the next big move they made on offense could make one of Wilson’s former teammates a potential target for the Steelers.
The Steelers traded Dionte Johnson this week, which has created a need for the team to go out and get a WR2 to replace him.
They have been linked with plenty of veteran options since the trade was made. However, the answer for them could be a player Wilson is very familiar with.
Steelers Nation’s Christopher Barbre thinks the Steelers should be looking at Denver Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton as a trade candidate.
Not much has been consistent for Sutton and the Broncos since they drafted him back in 2018.
They have cycled through quarterbacks and are on their fourth head coach during that time.
That hasn’t prevented Sutton from performing.
Despite consistently playing in a bad offense, Sutton has topped 700 yards in five of his six NFL seasons. The one year that he didn’t was because he tore his ACL in Week 1.
He hasn’t been able to reach that level since as the team has gone through a series of offensive issues, but he has been the team’s top option at receiver and a solid asset year after year.
Now Sutton could be a good option for a team that is looking to bring an end to their own recent problems on offense.
