Almost every wide receiver trade target at the November 10 deadline has been linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and one such player, Los Angeles Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey, would make an excellent fit for the team. But can the Steelers pull off a trade for McConkey?
According to multiple reports, the Chargers have received multiple trade calls for their players and have returned inquiries with "hard no's." Despite their awful 0-8 record, the Chargers are apparently against selling or a complete rebuild, and this may mean the Steelers have little to no shot at landing McConkey at the trade deadline.
The Chargers have received calls from rival GMs on QB Justin Herbert and WR Ladd McConkey, per @RapSheet They told the teams they have zero interest
and it’s a “hard no”.

McConkey, who was drafted by the Chargers in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has emerged as one of quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite targets on the Chargers' offense, catching 165 passes for 2,224 yards and 14 touchdowns in 38 career games. He remains under contract through the 2027 season, and this could likely be playing a role in the Chargers' decision at the trade deadline.
Although McConkey is likely off the Steelers' radar, there are still a few wide receivers the team could be interested in. Follow along with our final trade deadline tracker for any updates on potential wide receiver interest and other rumors ahead of the November 10 cutoff.
