The Pittsburgh Steelers have been making some grand moves in the trade market. They are structuring their roster for success not only for the upcoming season but for the future as well. One Steelers legend is extremely excited but wants one more addition before the trade window shuts down!
Antonio Brown played wide receiver for the Steelers for almost a decade. Now the Super Bowl winner has put his fan hat on and is overwhelmed with the new additions to the roster. “Never been this well fed as a Steeler fan”, wrote Brown on X (previously Twitter). Though he still wants Tyler Boyd at the WR position.

The Steelers not only added some great players to their unit. But they also acquired them far more cheaply than they could’ve hoped for! Quality additions such as Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are practically free for the Steelers. The Denver Broncos will cover Wilson’s salary and so they could acquire him at a low cost of 1.35 million .

Similarly Fields arrived with a trade of the Steelers conditional sixth-round pick of the NFL 2025 Draft. With these incoming forces, previous QB1 Kenny Pickett has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. In this trade, the Steelers gained one third-round pick for this year’s Draft and two seventh-round draft picks for the 2025 NFL Draft.
However, amongst these offensive players, Brown focuses on the trade of LB Patrick Queen as well. Signed on as a free agent by the Steelers on a $41-million contract over three years. But will his ask be answered with the arrival of WR Tyler Boyd?

The Cincinnati Bengals were unable to lockdown Boyd as his contract expired. The 29-year-old is now a free agent and has been linked to several suitors, including the Bengals’ arch-rivals, the Steelers. However, nothing has materialized yet and there are several moving parts.
Biggest hurdle in Tyler Boyd to Steelers conversation are the Chiefs with dark horse being the Jets.
