Could Steelers Pull Off Blockbuster Trade With Cowboys?

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers remain the most likely landing spot for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but as one roller coaster ride continues out west, another wide receiver in the NFC may become available.

The 49ers are trying to work out a deal to keep Aiyuk around long-term, and they find themselves in the same situation the Dallas Cowboys do with CeeDee Lamb. After Justin Jefferson signed a massive deal with the Minnesota Vikings, both wideouts are looking for contracts that average over $30 million per season. If they don’t get them with their current teams, they’ll look elsewhere.

“It all comes down to what the future looks like in the minds of Jerry and Stephen Jones, which means there’s no telling how this will end,” Cowboys OnSI writer Randy Gurzi writes about the Lamb situation.

According to Cowboys insider Clarence Hill Jr., Lamb is currently seeking over $32 million per season on his next deal. While that number seems high for a team like the Steelers, they were reportedly ready to make a move for Aiyuk, which likely would’ve cost them roughly $30 million per year on his contract extension. So, even if the number is high for the fanbase, it may not be high for the team.

First of all, it will take more than 32 to sign him. Everything else is bs https://t.co/LBGgzek0Qa

At 25-years-old, Lamb has three 1,000-yard seasons, 32 touchdowns and is coming off a 1,749 yards and 12 touchdown year with the Cowboys.

Pittsburgh could use a Lamb. They probably don’t need a massive contract on their hands, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t considering it. At this point, waiting for Aiyuk means anything is on the table. If the 49ers want to push things out as long as they can, teams like the Steelers will need to keep their options open, and Lamb could be one of those options.

To this point, every name has been tossed out there for Pittsburgh. There’s been speculation about DK Metcalf, Aiyuk, Treylon Burks and Courtland Sutton. Adding Lamb to that list only makes sense. You can’t rule anything out when Omar Khan is running the show, so until Lamb inks a new deal, you just can’t say it’s impossible for Pittsburgh.

Livvy Dunne celebrates Paul Skenes’ MLB All-Star nod in most Pittsburgh way possible

Livvy Dunne has been frequenting Pittsburgh to watch Pirates ace Paul Skenes light it up on the mound at PNC Park.

The LSU gymnast and social media stunner has been dating Skenes since their LSU days, and she’s now is embracing life by the Three Rivers while she roots on her man.

Sure, Primanti Bros. is more nown for its sandwiches that are topped with coleslaw and french fries, but sometimes you’re just in the pizza mood.

And we have to give Livvy some grace, because she’s still learning the ropes in the Steel City.

The mustached right-hander has been lighting it up during his rookie season in Pittsburgh. He has struck out seven or more batters in nine of his 10 starts, which is the most ever by a pitcher over

Skenes has also been throwing the heat, with 74 pitches of at least 100 mph, more than double anyone else in MLB.

The 2024 MLB All-Star Game will take place on Tuesday, July 16, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Expect to see Livvy there in full support of her favorite Buc

Steelers Star Named Top Trade Option

Published

Press Room

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are working out contract negotiations with defensive tackle Cam Heyward, but despite the captain showing up for Organized Team Activities and minicamp, there’s not too much optimism a deal gets done before the season.

If an extension doesn’t get done, the Steelers will have a decision to make on whether or not they’ll let Heyward walk next offseason or move on from him early. If they chose to make a trade – which doesn’t feel likely right now – they’ll probably have takers.

Pro Football Network believes it’ll be their easiest move to make, naming Heyward their top trade option heading into training camp.

“There is no denying that Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward will be remembered as an all-time great in franchise history. Yet the Steelers could opt to trade him as he heads into the final season of his final contract. Heyward had just two sacks last season, and Pittsburgh would save $16 million by trading him in 2024,” PFN writes.

Heyward is expected to be back to his normal self in 2024. 2023 was lost due to injury, and looking at his stats from a year where he underwent surgery isn’t an actual expectation on what’s to come.

Chances are the Steelers don’t move on from Heyward this offseason. The two sides will continue to negotiate, but even if a deal doesn’t get done, the Steelers will need their captain for a 2024 Super Bowl run. On Heyward’s side, unless he’s going to head to another contender, winning a Super Bowl is likely at the top of his list – and winning one in Pittsburgh would mean more than with another team.

If a split is coming, it’s coming in 2025. For now, no movement is expected to happen.
