PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh Steelers have been looking for a new wide receiver since dealing Diontae Johnson to the Panthers during the offseason.

With the trade deadline approaching in two weeks, the Steelers are looking to make a move on a wideout, expressing their interest in Los Angeles Rams wideout Cooper Kupp. The 31-year-old Super Bowl MVP played just two games this season and injured his ankle during their Week 2 matchup against the Cardinals.

With Kupp looking mostly healed, the Steelers are once again in the picture for a star wideout.

In an appearance on Fanduel TV’s Up and Adams with Kay Adams, former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski addressed the situation, which put the Steelers at the top of the list for Kupp’s services.

“I love the Steelers,” Gronkowski said. “I went to school in Pittsburgh my senior year of high school. So I know what it’s like to be part of that Steeler Nation. I understand what the Steelers mean to the city of Pittsburgh.

“If they got Cooper Kupp, with Russell Wilson playing the way he did, throwing that ball up and throwing it up to make a catchable ball for his receivers to play, then I think that would give the Steelers a boost Gronkowki said. . “I think this would be the best fit too. If they can get him, Steeler Nation would go crazy.”

With the running game improving dramatically over the past two games for the Steelers, there is less pressure on the wide receiver room to excel with what little they have. However, an addition of any kind would still be welcome, especially if it’s a single-season wide receiver scrimmage yards record holder coming to the team.

The deadline is Nov. 5 at 4 p.m., so the Steelers would have to make moves before then to have Kupp this season.
