Steelers Next? Pressure On After Browns, Bengals Trades
PITTSBURGH — The Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals have both added to the trade deadline total, joining the Baltimore Ravens, who added via a trade last week. Now, the spotlight is on the Pittsburgh Steelers to finish the AFC North and add a fourth team to the action.
The Ravens started the AFC North moves last week when they traded with the Carolina Panthers for former Steelers wideout Diontae Johnson. Then, on deadline day, the Browns traded away linebacker Za’Darius Smith to the Detroit Lions, and the Bengals added running back Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears.
In the Smith trade, the Browns sent the pass-rusher and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the Lions in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick. As for Herbet, Cincinnati sent Chicago a seventh-round pick.
Now, we wait for the Steelers.
Pittsburgh has headlined the trade market since the summer when they chased Brandon Aiyuk in efforts to bring the wide receiver over from San Francisco. Since then, they’ve explored Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, Cooper Kupp from the Los Angeles Rams, and nearly landed Christian Kirk from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
They’re expected to make calls about a number of available wide receivers before 4 p.m. ET. This will likely include Mike Williams from the New York Jets, DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks, along with double-checking on Kupp and potentially names like Courtland Sutton, Darius Slayton and Jakobi Meyers.
The expectation is that something will happen. The Steelers have not held back their interest in adding to their receiver room, and with options out there, it seems unlikely they head into the back half of the season with their current room.
As for who it will be, that’s up for interpretation. Some could say they’ll take the easiest deal, which may be Williams or Slayton. Others will view their pursuits this season and guess they’ll try to aim high for a name like Kupp or Metcalf, or possibly even Sutton.
The NFL world will know by 4 p.m. ET. But after all three AFC North teams made moves, it’s hard to believe the Steelers are going to miss out on the action.

Megyn Kelly rallies for Trump in Pittsburgh claiming he will be a 'protector of women'
Sirius XM radio host Megyn Kelly campaigned for former President Trump in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania in hopes of convincing the remaining undecided president to rally behind him over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Kelly revealed Monday on her show that the Trump campaign had invited her to appear alongside the Republican nominee in Pittsburgh. She previously announced she would vote for Trump in the presidential race against President Biden before he withdrew from the race.
BIDEN’S ‘GARBAGE’ SHOT AT TRUMP SUPPORTERS DOWNPLAYED, DISMISSED, SPUN BY MEDIA: ‘COME DOWN TO AN APOSTROPHE’
Kelly joined Trump on stage to praise him as a “protector of women” and that is the reason she is endorsing him.
“He will be a protector of women. And it’s why I’m voting for him,” she said. “He will close the border. He will keep the boys out of girls sports and where they don’t belong. And you know what else? One more thing. He will look out for our boys, to our forgotten boys and our forgotten men. Guys like you. Guys like these guys. Who got the calluses on their hands? Who work for a living with the beards and the tats. Who maybe have a beer after work and don’t want to be judged by people like Oprah and Beyoncé, who will never have to face the consequences of her disastrous economic policies.”

Federal district court temporarily pauses closure of a Charleroi glass factory
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A federal district court has temporarily paused the closure of a glass factory in Charleroi, Washington County.
In a news release on Monday, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General said the court granted its office a temporary restraining order pausing the closure of the Anchor Hocking plant, which employs about 300 workers. The ruling prevents Anchor Hocking Holdings and Centre Lane Partners from removing equipment and other materials from the plant before the next scheduled hearing.
A hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction is scheduled for Nov. 12, the news release said.
“The closure of this longtime manufacturing hub will have permanent impact on the Charleroi community and surrounding neighborhoods, which depend on the plant for employment that is vital to the local economy and prosperity of families living there,” Attorney General Michele Henry said in the news release. “My office intervened in plans to close what is the only large-scale manufacturing operation in that area, and we are very pleased that the federal district court agreed with our position.”
In September, Anchor Hocking announced plans to close the plant and move its operations to Ohio. The announcement sent shockwaves through the community as the plant, which makes cookware like Pyrex, has been a fixture in the community.
Last month, Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notices were sent to workers at the plant, telling one-third of that workforce that by December their services would no longer be required.
Workers previously rallied to save the glass plant and called on company leadership to sit down with them and work this out.
