Steelers, Davante Adams Trade Could Be Coming Soon
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers could have a new superstar wide receiver on their roster before they take off for Las Vegas next week. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the timeline for the Davante Adams trade is heating up, as there’s an expectation he gets dealt as early as Tuesday.
“With Adams’ hamstring close to being healthy, trade talks are expected to accelerate Monday and Tuesday. If a trade is going to get done this week, which is possible, Tuesday would be the deadline,” Rapoport writes.
While the Steelers are only in the mix right now, competing with teams like the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills, they’re reportedly making a strong push. According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Pittsburgh has made an “aggressive offer” for Adams, in hopes of landing him before Week 6.
It’s unknown what the offer would be, but sources have told Steelers On SI that the Raiders are looking for a minimum of a second-round NFL Draft pick and a “significant player” in exchange for the All-Pro receiver.
The Steelers were on the cusp of landing Brandon Aiyuk this summer, so it comes as no surprise that they are looking to land Adams now that he’s available. While what they are willing to offer remains a mystery, their level of interest is easy to predict.

On Thursday, Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo appeared on 93.7 The Fan, addressing several key Steelers topics, including the ongoing situations with Russell Wilson and Roman Wilson. Fittipaldo believes that given Justin Fields’ current performance, it would take “a bad game” to warrant a switch a switch at quarterback.
Additionally, with Arthur Smith’s scheme requiring four tight ends and four wide receivers on game day, Roman Wilson seems to be the odd man out of a WR group that contains George Pickens, Calvin Austin, Van Jefferson, and Scotty Miller. This leads many, including Fittipaldo, to conclude that Roman Wilson’s status as a healthy scratch is more a matter of preference than necessity for Pittsburgh.
Loyalty plays a significant role in both Russell and Roman Wilson’s availability issues. Mike Tomlin acknowledged the challenge by stating, “It’s very difficult to get on a moving train.” However, Smith’s loyalty to Jefferson and Fields seems to be preventing the Wilsons from hopping on the proverbial locomotive, which could then provoke Pittsburgh to exaggerate the severity of the injuries to save face.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon off of injured reserve, the team announced on Saturday. Moon will occupy the 53rd and final roster spot for the Steelers this week against the Dallas Cowboys.
Moon will add a fourth outside linebacker to their rotation as long as he is active. He missed four weeks with an ankle injury that he suffered back in the middle of August. Now, Moon will add special teams depth and give the Steelers another body with Alex Highsmith sidelined with a groin injury. Highsmith is expected to return in two weeks.
Moon was claimed by the Steelers in January after the Baltimore Ravens released him during the playoffs. He was running with the second team before his injury forced him to miss time.
Nick Herbig will start alongside T.J. Watt, with Moon and DeMarvin Leal giving the team depth. The 26-year-old is a Florida product and was undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, but his athleticism and special teams acumen allowed him to earn a roster spot with the Ravens. He has 12 tackles and two forced fumbles in his career.

See Michael Stipe and Jason Isbell Perform R.E.M. Classics at Harris-Walz Pittsburgh Event
Duo plays “The One I Love” and “Driver 8” – Stipe’s first time performing the songs live since 2008 – and a pair of Isbell tracks at campaign event.
Jason Isbell and Michael Stipe — in his first public live appearance in five years — performed a set of music together Friday at a Pittsburgh fundraiser for the Harris-Walz campaign, with the duo playing R.E.M. songs that Stipe hadn’t sung since before the band’s breakup.
The singers were introduced by Second Gentleman and noted music fan Doug Emhoff, who welcomed the pair to the Schenley Plaza stage. “So honored and just geeking out, nerding out and geeking out that I’m about to introduce Michael Stipe and Jason Isbell,” Kamala Harris’ husband said.
“It’s been awhile since I’ve sung these songs, 16 years in fact, but I’m really happy to be here with Jason and with the soon-to-be-ever First Gentleman of the United States of America,” Stipe, wearing a camo Harris-Walz hat, said.
The acoustic set then opened a rendition of the R.E.M. classic “The One I Love,” with Stipe on lead and Isbell on guitar and backing vocals.
The pair then delivered a pair of Isbell tracks with Stipe on backing — “Traveling Alone” and “Hope the High Road” — before closing out their mini-set with R.E.M.’s “Driver 8,” which Stipe hadn’t sung live since a 2008 concert.
For Stipe, Friday’s performance was his first public show since his stint opening for Patti Smith’s New York concerts in 2019. Earlier this year, the singer staged a surprise reunion with his R.E.M. band mates to perform “Losing My Religion” at their Songwriters Hall of Fame induction, their first time playing together since 2007.
