PITTSBURGH – The Pitttsburgh Steelers have been looking all season for something to expand their wide receiver room. Recently, the possibility of landing a star in Davante Adams has become a possibility.

Dissatisfied with the Las Vegas Raiders’ prospects, Adams hasn’t played since Week 3.

After asking the Raiders for a trade, the Steelers became favorites almost immediately.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the longer a deal doesn’t get done, the longer the Steelers benefit.

“The Steelers have strong interest in trading the All-Pro receiver,” Fowler said. “The feeling among people I’ve talked to is that Las Vegas started with the Saints and Jets, partly because Adams is interested in playing there. But the longer this goes on, the more things open up for a team like Pittsburgh. ” Adams probably won’t be traded until next week at the earliest.”

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Raiders are willing to wait out a trade for Adams and could even try to keep him. If they’re willing to wait, that only seems to help the Steelers.

“In a fluid and unpredictable situation that seems to change weekly, Davante Adams could ultimately remain with the Las Vegas Raiders rather than be traded, league sources told ESPN,” Schefter wrote.

CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports that while the Raiders are trying to make this a big deal, they’re just bluffing about keeping him.

“The team is publicly acting as if it could retain Adams for several more weeks, and possibly even until the trade deadline. But multiple sources around the league tell CBS Sports they believe the Raiders are merely bluffing,” Jones wrote.

Adams would be a welcome addition to the Steelers’ deep space, which doesn’t have much firepower. However, a move suggested earlier this week that suggested Pickens would be traded to the Raiders would be unwise. They need to keep Pickens in any kind of deal to have depth and talent.

If a deal is struck, the Steelers would have a six-time Pro Bowl participant and three-time All-Pro honoree on the team. It would likely be the best wide receiver the team has had since Antonio Brown and would allow them to diversify their offensive sets a lot more.

Other teams in the running for Adams’ services include the New York Jets, where a reunion with Adams’ former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is becoming a possibility. Another similar situation would be the New Orleans Saints, which is hosting a reunion of its college quarterback Derek Carr.

An Adams move seems possible, but Steelers fans shouldn’t expect it to be a certainty.
