Indianapolis Colts veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen has been linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the November 10 NFL trade deadline. Allen was previously hesitant about joining the Steelers in years past, but the recent speculation begs the question: Could the Steelers trade for him before the 4:00 p.m. cutoff?
Make no mistake about it. The Colts are holding a complete and utter fire sale ahead of the 4:00 p.m. deadline on November 10. Allen, who is 34 years old, should immediately be viewed as a possible trade candidate due to his age and valuable veteran experience.
The Steelers are in need of a wide receiver who can find separation and work out of the slot, two areas where Keenan Allen shines. Pairing Allen next to Michael Pittman
Jr. and DK Metcalf would give Pittsburgh an underrated wide receiver trio for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to work with. But one red flag still remains. Would Allen accept a trade to Pittsburgh?
Honestly, taking his previous comments about the Steelers into account, it wouldn't be surprising if the Steelers opted for another low-cost wide receiver like Calvin Ridley of the Tennessee Titans or Jauan Jennings of the Minnesota Vikings.
