“Steelers lose WR trade target to 2024 AFC opponent”.

Three former All-Pro wide receivers who were previously considered trade targets for the Pittsburgh Steelers have come and gone without the Steel City having anything to show for it. 32-year-old receiver DeAndre Hopkins has found a new quarterback to catch passes from, and unfortunately for all the Russell Wilson fans out there, it's not Mr. Unstoppable, but three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes.

As if Steelers fans couldn't dread the Christmas Day matchup with Kansas City any more, the Chiefs, currently undefeated at 6-0 this season, pulled off a blockbuster trade, bringing Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans for a conditional fifth Place taken – round pick.

Will Pittsburgh finally stop losing on the wide receiver trade market and bring a playmaker to a WR-needy Steelers team? While Russ will still cook, Steelers GM Omar Khan could set his quarterback up for success with such a trade.
