Broncos Insider Hints at Steelers WR Trade
Could the Pittsburgh Steelers hark back to an old target as they attempt to augment their wide receiver room this offseason?
In an appearance on The Big Doug & Carmi Show, Denver Broncos insider and radio host Benjamin Allbright stated that he wouldn’t be shocked if the team ultimately ships Courtland Sutton off to the Steelers.
“I would not be surprised if the Broncos jettison Courtland Sutton, to see Sutton and [George] Pickens pair up on the outside there in Pittsburgh,” Allbright said.
He also shared his belief that Russell Wilson will don the black and gold once again next season, which would only amplify the connection between Sutton and the Steelers.
Though Wilson’s two-year stint in the Mile High City was an abject failure on multiple levels, Sutton was nothing but complementary during their time together and sustained that mindset once the former signed with Pittsburgh last March.
Sutton hauled in 119 receptions for 1,576 yards and 12 touchdowns from Wilson across 29 games, though he saw his numbers jump to 81 catches for 1,081 yards and eight scores in 2024 with rookie Bo Nix at quarterback.
With a young receiver room in place, however, Denver appears open to moving on from the seven-year veteran despite his productivity and status as the team’s second-longest tenured player.
Talks of Pittsburgh’s interest in Sutton popped up around the NFL Draft last April, though nothing came to fruition. Those rumors extended throughout the summer and even into the regular season, but no dice.
With a clean slate, perhaps the two sides could ramp up trade discussions in the near future. Sutton has one year left on his current contract with a $20.2 million cap hit, meaning he’ll likely require a new contract, and the Steelers have the necessary space to make it work.
Pairing him with Pickens would make for the one of the better receiving duos in the entire league and round out a position group that’s long been lacking for Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh natives Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor move to Mt. Lebanon
Pittsburgh-area natives Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor are returning to their roots.
Manganiello, from Mt. Lebanon, and O’Connor, from Uniontown, have bought a home in the South Hills after getting engaged this summer.
On Pittsburgh Today Live on Thursday, O’Connor talked about the couple’s move from Hollywood to Mt. Lebanon.
“It’s so nice to be home,” she said.
While Manganiello and O’Connor are happy to be back in southwestern Pennsylvania, O’Connor said it’ll be a bigger adjustment for the beloved chihuahua Bubbles. From the Pittsburgh Steelers fashion show to the gala celebrating the new airport terminal, the tiny dog is seemingly always in Manganiello’s arms.
“Bubbles is a California girl. She really doesn’t like the cold. We wrap her in a blanket and she has many, many puffy coats. I bought her a Steelers puffy to put in her stocking, so we’re going to see how she does over the next few months. But it’s not that long. It’s not forever. Winter will come and go,” O’Connor said.
And they all got quite the Pittsburgh welcome. O’Connor said it snowed when they were moving in, and Manganiello was outside shoveling for over two hours. She said she’s getting him a snowblower for Christmas.
The couple won’t be braving the Pittsburgh winter for too long. O’Connor said they’ll soon be off to South Africa, where Manganiello will film “One Piece” for Netflix. He’ll star as the villain Crocodile in the popular Japanese manga series.
“Bubbles will be in a better state,” O’Connor joked, saying it’s currently summer in South Africa. “I just bring Bubbles to set and hang out. It’s really the best job.”

Steelers re-sign veteran running back
The Pittsburgh Steelers are re-signing veteran running back Trey Sermon, the team announced today. Sermon has had multiple on-and-off stints with the Steelers since signing with the team rookie mini-camp. He’s appeared in three games for the Steelers in 2025.
Sermon was drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. In 46 career games, Sermon has 505 yards on 134 carries and three touchdowns with the 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, and Steelers.
The Steelers have the chance to put the Baltimore Ravens on the ropes this Sunday. If they defeat the Detroit Lions, the Ravens would have to defeat one of the New England Patriots or Green Bay Packers for the Week 18 matchup between the Steelers and Ravens to have any stakes. The Steelers can also clinch the division before Week 18 if they win their next two games and the Ravens go 1-1 or 0-2.
