The Pittsburgh Steelers should be big players for receivers Christian Kirk and/or D.K. Metcalf over the next week. Christopher Carter points out the team’s interest in Kirk during the season, and why Metcalf is a more realistic trade target than other receivers posed.
But could the decision to go with either receiver signal what the team’s plans are for George Pickens? Chris explains why he thinks Kirk could be a support option for Pickens as WR1, but that Metcalf could signal a complete reset of the position in 2025.
Also, Chris gives his top 10 NFL Draft cornerback prospects and which ones might be the best fits for the Steelers.

Another day, another WR linked to the steelers. And the next day, And the next day, And the next day.
❤
Safe to say we don’t land a good WR. Omar failed. So many available rn
Ayuik being on block w a timeline sure makes me wonder if we get a better deal now. DK will have a line out the door esp w chargers cutting Bosa. DK and Ayuik are WR1 types but maybe not totally. Last year we went after Ayuik while looking at Pickens long term.
Chargers are getting DK. Mark it dahn
Look at Chris always waving his racist flag.. any chance he gets
We are a BUDGET MINDED TEAM..Steelers yearly Income is around 129 million a year in income, Cowboys 1.1 Billion a year in income for example, So Steelers function based on the Mindset of We're not paying for the top guys because our yearly income is only 129 million…So we dont take risk like other teams…We're a budge team regardless of how much we're allowed to spend…We won't target big contract maybe 1 high price player…Maybe
Chris, what do you think of bringing in Kirk and then including Pickens into a trade for Metcalf?
I have no idea why y'all riding so hard for Justin Fields! He doesn't read defenses well and isn't an accurate passer. If you start Fields, you might as well blow up the defense. Receivers with options don't sign with teams who have inconsistent to bad qb play. It messes with their stats and money. The nfl isn't Madden!!!!
Trade George " Crash Out" Pickens & 3rd Rd. Pick for Dk Metcalf… either Draft IOWA ST.WR J.HIGGINS or Sign fa Christian Kirk 2yr deal for 10 mil…
If we get D.K. and get rid of GP we're back to square one. One good receiver, a bunch of unproven rookies, and 3's & 4's
Omar is different, some players can't wait to put on a Steelers jersey.
We draft good muscular linemen whenever we can . Go Steelers
Stop with that trade Pickens junk
We aren’t getting D.K. unless the Steelers are re-signing Russell Wilson. D.K. wants to play with Russell Wilson again. D.K. had his best seasons, when Russell Wilson was his Quarterback.
Kirk isn’t released, there are rumors that he will be. Its important to make that distinction.
Bro we were about to give up a second for ayuk……
Christian kirk?? Never heard of him
Trade Pickens lmfao who wants that weirdo we are stuck for a another season with that 🤡
Please don’t trade for Metcalf and pay him 30 million per.
Kirk maybe.no way DK. Doesn't matter what receiver we get.I don't have faith in ….run it back Russ.
The intro goes hard. Play it more.
Christian Kirk stinks, another van jefferson. Are The steelers losing trade options because khan is always going for the “ripoff” deal? Too slow to react. Ikhans failure to get a wr last year was a big reason the team failed.
" a little more dominant than Kirk". 😅 that's an understatement
U don’t get rid of GP u surround him with good character people that he trust
I'd be happy to get DK and then pick up Kirk or Slayton for the slot on the cheap. GP is on a rookie contract so your WR room is looking around 40-50 million which is excellent for 3 really star quality WRs. This also could potentially give Roman Wilson some time to come in slowly and as insurance if GP burns out or balls out and you trade him while his value is high. I would be very comfortable with that WR room.
Not a good fit with the steelers i swear we want everbody with a name
Get DK and sign Kirk. Let everything play out.
Kirk would be a nice pickup
We need to get dk and keep gp and just crash out til we cash out! When have we won the sb being the good guys? I can okly think of 1 out of 6 and that was the Bus' last ride…. other than that we were savvy, scrappy, and violent… lets embrace our roots!!!!
I am hearing 1st and 3 for Metcalf which seems too steep.
Or don’t be cheap! Trade for DK, keep GP & pay them! We need the weapons. The eagles can do it, why can’t we??
Save the draft picks for DT, RB, CB
Whether we pay GP or not he’s gonna continues to do what he wants which is bad for the team.. And that’s why we have to trade him by the draft or during the draft.
I’ll I rather just trade GP and take Cortland Sutton and Tre Harris (DK metcalf light) for our WR’s next season.
