The Pittsburgh Steelers left fans devastated after their failed attempts ahead of the NFL trade deadline, ultimately not acquiring any talent whatsoever. But according to one prominent insider, the Steelers were actually in pursuit of a position other than wide receiver.
According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers were interested in a cornerback at the trade deadline, but ultimately no players at the position were dealt.
"The Steelers would have liked to add a cornerback for depth purposes, but none were traded before the deadline," Dulac wrote.
Dulac didn't mention which cornerbacks the Steelers were interested in, but some potential names that were linked to the Steelers ahead of the deadline were Carrington Valentine
of the Green Bay Packers and Kristian Fulton of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 6-2 Steelers may have failed to address their roster at the trade deadline, but there are still a few capable free agents at important positions of need, including cornerback, that the team could target.
