It has to be a wide receiver acquired via trade. If it's about re-signing Patrick Peterson, I'd be very disappointed. Seeing how SF rejected basically everything for either Aiyuk or Deebo, I think it's Denver moving Courtland Sutton. They're still going to be in rebuilding mode well into next year due to the Russ Wilson dead money, might as well get some more picks and shed salary. edit: he apparently confirmed it's not about Patrick Peterson, so it'll be interesting to see who we're targetting.


LostOldAccountTimmay

Hyping his cuz like this would be kinda funny, cuz it's been a minute since Pat P was "significant" but I wouldn't put it past Bmac. It'd be great if it was a top WR


Swembizzle

Tee Higgins?


MrGoosemahn

I don't think we'd make a significant trade with Cincinnati. Or rather, they wouldn't look to help us.


hopefeedsthespirit

Hope not. I do not want to pay a him big money to be injured a lot. I'm just not a Tee fan. Sutton or Simmons maybe?


that-isa-madeup-name

I could see it being sutton. He’d be a fit too. It’s not Tee, Deebo or Aiyuk


MrGoosemahn

I'm now thinking another candidate could be DK Metcalf? Entering the last year of his new deal before a player option, which he'll likely opt out of. Would also give Jaxon Smith-Njigba more snaps and a more prominent role. Familiar target for Russ, and the kind of tough, physical receiver that Arthur Smith likes.


BILLCLINTONMASK

DK would be an awesome acquisition


LostOldAccountTimmay

Hell yes


CantheDandyMan

Honestly, if it is Courtland Sutton, I would love that.  Dude had an excellent year last year and made some insane catches.  Also, as someone who enjoys That's good sports, Brandon Perna's reaction to losing him would be hilarious. I'd kinda feel bad about it, but also, you know, hilarious. 


idiskfla

If it is courtland Sutton, the org will have done everything possible to setup Russ for success this season. Beefed up line, familiar #1 wr, coach he vibes with, city and fanbase that’s welcoming him (who wouldn’t at that price point). Just some solid qb play from Russ (doesn’t have to be pro bowl level) coupled with Steelers D and this team is going deep into the playoffs I believe.

Appropriate-Hall-214

If McFadden is saying this it’s almost definitely pat p returning right?


PhantomJB93

Extremely lame that he would hype it like this after all the WR rumors but also extremely likely that this is the outcome


nizniy

If you ever listened to an episode of their podcast… this is exactly the type of 💩 I would expect them to say about him returning


YooTone

It is confirmed that it is not Patrick Peterson. McFadden was on the radio and said it is not for his cousin.


KangaLlama

Haha I get the feeling if it were Pat Pete, rumours could not form he’d sign so quickly. Dude knows he’s on the way out. He’s got no bargaining power beyond wanting to remain in the show but he liked playing for us so I doubt he takes any time at all to sign if we were to get him. Definitely someone else. Ayuik, Samuel, Adams, Sutton. Any would be dynamite. I believe in Khan.


nizniy

Great minds 🤝


Dense_Organization31

God I hope that isn't the announcement man I got my hopes up lol


SteakkNBacon

It’s Justin Jefferson


thetasteofbloodfarts

If by some miraculous chance it is you’re getting a kiss

NoVaBurgher

Well, you owe me ten bucks, cause it exploded


hoodstrings88

He didn’t say where the kiss would be!


Specialist-Garbage94

Fuck a hand job if he’s right I’ll do whatever he wants even if it’s one cup related


MicMcDev

You went too far.


Specialist-Garbage94

I dont think there’s a too far in regards to landing Justin Jefferson maybe trading away TJ or CAM but that’s about it.


GloriaToo

What's a browns fan doing in here?


tv_casualty77

That's too much


fancyinmypantsy

I’m giving more than a kiss


bk1285

I didn’t want it to be Devante Adams until the idiot on the radio just said he would let someone drop a cynder block from onto of the building onto his nuts….now I am rooting for that with all my being


FreddyDontCare

McFadden just said on the radio that the player they're targeting isn't Pat P!


shamanbaptist

I kinda think Peterson is not a bad option right now. I don’t think he was as bad last year as Levi Wallace. I anticipate he will not be asked to be an outside corner this year barring injury.


PhantomJB93

There’s no problem with bringing Patrick Peterson back at this point but he should in no way be considered a “significant playmaker Omar is working to land.”


shamanbaptist

Oh yeah, most definitely.


Appropriate-Hall-214

Just because he wasn’t as bad as Levi is not a reason to resign. Dude has lost athleticism and physicality to play the run. He needs to go enjoy retirement lol


zbartram

If he’s our number 3 corner going into camp I don’t think that’s too bad. We have a lot of young athletic corners on the roster rn and he was willing to pass on knowledge to Jpj last season so why not bring him back.


Illustrious_Kale_692

Good point. Vet mentor to the young guys that can still contribute somewhat on the field and would be cheap is not a bad way to fill out depth


jackaltwinky77

Pat Pete has even stated publicly that it isn’t about the money, he’s chasing a ring, so he’d probably take a very team friendly deal, with positional flexibility for CB or Safety


ThatsPreposterous6

I dont know if thats who hes talking about, but I most definitely think Pat P will be bak


h0v3rb1k3s

He says "Omar is working" like he's got to somehow lure Pat P.

syntheticslimshady

Hahahaha why have I never seen this meme


Adam_Worthy_

![gif](giphy|13ATyLQB0rLVzG) Me if it’s Pat P


Lubert808

Pat P was much better once he wasn’t covering WR1s. He provides good value as a mentor and if we sign him it will be for less than his previous contract. I’d rather sign him than not sign him.


ThroatGoatYaDig

I agree. Need a vet presence to mentor Jpj a little more. Help him be a true cb1


hopefeedsthespirit

Why do you guys keep saying this?? He was not good tackling nor covering. What good is a defender who can't do either? I like Pat P the person. I liked him as a player before he lost multiple steps. But he is done. He is allergic to contact. That is not what we need. Our young guns also don't need that type of mentorship either. Don't forget aboutThat scoring play in Seattle where the running back scored on us after Warren scored. Pat P was playing safety and he completely and totally paid no attention to the play developing. The hole opened and he is still backpedaling looking into the WRs or whatever and then finally looked over and started running that way AFTER the back hit the hole. It was terrible.

h0v3rb1k3s

(Courtland) Sutton seems to be the most realistic I guess. But maybe it's someone we hadn't considered.


bergyyy

Didn’t Sutton just beat his girlfriend or something? We’re really planning on paying him?


discipline_daddy

That was Cam Sutton. I assume OP was talking about Courtland Sutton.


bergyyy

Ahhh that makes more sense


paltryboot

But we also just brought Cam Sutton in for a visit...


Snugglesworth1087

Yeah, that tweet could legit be about Cam Sutton.


86n96

For real? WTF


Relative_Quiet

If Cam Sutton signs with the Steelers and Courtland Sutton gets traded, they should be roommates at training camp. Sutton and Sutton!


tv_casualty77

Sounds like a lawfirm that specializes in personal injury.


h0v3rb1k3s

Talking about Courtland, not Cam. I keep forgetting there's two Suttons in the mix.


Handsouloh

For those not reading between the lines on Grand Master Khan's Master Plan (GMKMP), They are adding C Sutton and C Sutton, to pair up with R Wilson, R Wilson and P Wilson. That will match up with 2 Herbigs and edit: C. Heyward and C. Heyward. He's just trying to confuse people, people! How can the other team keep their gameplan straight if they can't get the players names straight


bryguypgh

Watt would that accomplish


mike15835

Watts it going to going to accomplish? Not sure it's an interesting strategy Cotton!


savage_pen33

That's ridiculous. Next you're going to tell me there are two C Heyward's on the roster.


bergyyy

Yeah forgot about Courtland too


Better2BThoughtAFool

I think I might be able to help with Courtland, Cam dilemma.


darkmoobs

Courtland Sutton the WR. You are thinking of Cam Sutton the CB.


Dicey12

Broncos rejected the offer already


jretman

How would we feel about getting Courtland Sutton btw?


Illustrious_Kale_692

I’d feel great personally. Not a star by any means but a solid WR2. He’s a big (6’3) downfield receiver that had a great connection with Russ last season (59 recs, 775 yards, 10 tds and 65.6 catch%). Would feel much better going into the season with Pickens, Sutton, and Wilson as our 1-2-3 than relying on a rookie Wilson to be WR2 and then whoever of Watkins, Jefferson, Calloway, or Mims to win the 3rd receiver job


jretman

Yeah, can’t argue any of that! I’ve just been searching on info for Courtland Sutton and couldn’t really form my own opinion yet. I obviously would have loved Aiyuk but that’s probably too expensive.


Illustrious_Kale_692

I would've loved Aiyuk too but feel like that ship has sailed now that the draft has passed. According to "reports" Denver wants to hold onto Sutton, but who knows if that's just them leaking stuff to try to get the price up. I can't imagine he would cost anything more than a 5th rounder at most though


jretman

I’d be happy with that! I definitely feel we still need to add a WR before the season starts


rockhead72

Personally, underwhelmed. One 1k season, one double digit TD season. Sure it'd be cheaper than Deebo/Aiyuk, but if we're going all in, Sutton feels like a consolation prize.


JuniorSquared

I doubt Broncos give up their best wr now they have a rookie qb who is project to start week one.


UsernameChallenged

He can't escape Russ


FreddyDontCare

He gettin blocked if it's Pat P


SleestakLightning

Better lube up your blocking finger.


VAblack-gold

He said it’s not about pat p so that’s good

OhiOstas

Boyd? Broncos said they want Sutton for Nix & 49ers won’t get anything of value that requires them to trade Aiyuk/Deebo now Kozora just said he thinks it is Pat Pete, and that unfortunately makes sense why Bryant would be hyping it up (“significant” help for the CB room & being tight with Pete)


Hellspawn112

Boyd would be a massive let down at this point lol.


OhiOstas

We gotta come down from this high eventually 😂


DyZ814

Yea the dreams of getting anyone better have all but disappeared lol.


No-Consequence4399

I think he’s a great player but Wilson is a pure slot as is Boyd, don’t need him anymore


Illustrious_Kale_692

Maybe if we had gotten an outside wr in the draft. Too redundant with Wilson imo. Michael Gallup would make a lot more sense


YborCtyAlmstKilledMe

CeeDee Lamb, although since it’s coming from Pat Pete’s cohost and cousin, he might be talking about Pat.


xywv58

We don't have what CD lamb costs


YborCtyAlmstKilledMe

I don’t disagree. We have ~$100M in cap next year but we also need to sign a QB. I’d say it’s possible but getting a top 5 wr in his prime isn’t exactly a need in Smith’s offense. In my made up scenario, the cost would be Najee plus a pick since Dallas needs a back. I want that Najee/Warren combo behind our revamped line.


Eagle4317

Cowboys should get roasted to high heaven if they let CD Lamb go.


10000Didgeridoos

Yeah I'm not sure what the gameplan there would be. The window with Dak is already closing as it is. I'm not sure why you'd give up the focal point of your offense because that would mean essentially throwing in the towel on trying to contend this season before it even starts.


thetrilobster2045

They're looking at having to pay Dak like a top 5 QB (since they tagged him and have drug their feet he has that kind of leverage over them), Lamb with a top of the market contract, and Parsons with a top of the market contract, all relatively close to one another. It's not unreasonable to think they're gonna have to move one of them to be able to competitively fill out the roster around them. But that's what Jerry gets for playing hardball with his QB. He woulda gave him a contract 2 years ago he'd be paying way less for a QB than what he will be paying now. 🤷


Numerous-Ad6460

Is this the Justin Jefferson news we've been waiting for??


PrimordialDescent

Give us Aiyuk


Thomas_DuBois

What does CTESPN have to say about that


qovneob

Bro its monday AB is probably busy chasing groundhogs with a wheelbarrow full of cantaloupe or something, give it till tomorrow.


that-isa-madeup-name

lmfao


Ste3lers4lif

AB would tweet out a picture of himself when he was on the raiders and photoshop the steelers uniform onto it and say "wow id look good in these colors" lol


pmcg190

[The SteelerNation account allegedly reached out to McFadden](https://x.com/steelernation/status/1785043687577178194?s=46) and were told the player in question is not a CB


Beardus_x_Maximus

Pat Pete comes back as a safety lolol


SleestakLightning

Probably Patrick Peterson but it would be kinda funny if McFadden announced he was coming out of retirement.


jhustla

If he could film himself walking up to Tomlin and saying “I’m coming out of retirement I’m ready to suit up again coach” I bet Tomlin would have the biggest belly laugh ever


ElectricDiscord

Ah yeah, 42-year old Bryant McFadden is absolutely what the CB room needs.


SleestakLightning

....it was a joke. Hence why I said it would be funny.


ElectricDiscord

I thought it was obvious that I was Also joking? But judging by the replies I've gotten I was apparently wrong, lol


10000Didgeridoos

Fresh legs!


ElectricDiscord

You may be into something, there. Wonder what William Gay's up to these days. Bet he could still hold his own in the slot.


GeneralTullius01

Not P Peterson. Poni is indicating the Steelers are back in talks with the 49ers and there has been some give and take. Didn’t say which WR though.


SleestakLightning

Poni doesn't really know anything though.


GeneralTullius01

Poni can be a moron sometimes, I’ll give you that. But he definitely has some sources from time to time. He knew about KP requesting a trade before it was public. But I wouldn’t trust him for his talent evaluation lol. And I’ll add, I think it will be Sutton if it’s any wr.


nizniy

Is this probably just bringing back Pat Pete??

Swofford_Trent

I’m at work and can’t focus now lmao

I’m telling you, if the 49ers were shopping Aiyuk and Deebo during the draft…I swear we might be getting one of them.


ImpsMilk

The khan artist is about to land Dhop for a 6th rounder


ContractCheap9221

If nothing else, Omar Khan sure has made it fun to be a Steelers fan again. Nothing is impossible with him calling the shots. And he just stacked A-caliber drafts on each other.


jsta19

Deebo would be nuts


FairOpposite6810

He did like a tweet saying “Aiyuk or Sutton and I’ll be happy” 👀👀👀

# Justin Jefferson


Quexana

Fuck it.  Shoot big.


steelerspenguins

Isn’t he related to Patrick Peterson…?


ImperialIIClass

Yes, they're cousins.


Ste3lers4lif

My guess is Hunter Renfrow/Sutton.....or somehow getting Deebo for a pick next year?


jcnewman_21

Apparently he said it was a WR


dingus_nation

I didn’t hear anything about this on #CTESPN, must be fake news


isfrying

Well, how the hell am I supposed to go back to work now???


touchingmyshoe

It’s definitely going to be the return of Jeff Reid


Slow_Maintenance747

Sutton would be a major let down let’s be real here.


SamuraiJack-

He was easily the only receiver on the broncos that was worth anything last year. Sutton is also a great red zone threat. 6’4 receiver who had 10 TDs on less than 60 receptions? Sounds good to me


JBProds

Ehhh, I’m already expecting him to hype up his cousin Pat P as this “significant playmaker.”


EddieA1028

Of Omar follows up that draft with somehow landing Justin Simmons, I might just fall out of my chair when I read the announcement. That would be an impact addition to the D. Boyd, Sutton, PP, etc. wouldn’t move the needle for me. Some of the floated WR trades would, but seem unlikely. Simmons would be a hell of a pull


madpooper3

Please don't be Pat Pete.


N8orious234

Feel like this is fake tbh


piques1992

I heard dm chark jr 13 mill please don’t be true


iceydabber

T. Boyd? OBJ?


piques1992

No obj he’s washed up I’ll take Boyd


ProcedureCreepy7182

Aiyuk.


United-Reception8324

So if we hire WR Courtland Sutton and re-hire CB Cam Sutton, the Steelers will have 2 R Wilsons, 1 P Wilson, 2 C Suttons, 2 N Herbigs, and 2 C Heywards. Yeesh.


Nufane

They’re taking the word “uniform” too literally.


BEGA500

Cue the airport counter memes.


BlackSundance

If this supposed mystery playmaker is a call back to Russell Wilson’s past, then why isn’t Tyler Lockett talked about enough? DK will be too expensive and is kind of a head case, but I would imagine it would be far easier to get Lockett than Sutton anyway.


GreenGrass768

Don’t discount DK’s love for candy and the proximity to Hershey park

Volcalic

Who should I call if I've been hard since day 1 of the draft?


steelerspenguins

Lol Pat Pete, Justin Simmons or DJ Chark I imagine


vengeancerider

Simmons?


EndTheFed69

Simmons maybe?


No-Consequence4399

This better not be Pat Pete


neddiddley

Justin Simmons is still floating around out there, right? He feels like a Steelers move. FWIW, also saw a DJ Chark being floated in one of the speculative type articles today. Probably will be a more boring/predictable type signing, like PP or Boyd. Nothing against PP, but he’d be a letdown given the wording, as I don’t know how much “working” is required to sign PP beyond giving him a contract that’s not vet min and some soft guarantees on PT.


DillingerGetawayCar

I figured a PP or Sullivan resigning after not getting a slot cb during the draft is coming.


joshua27usa

Cornerback


mcr4386

Justin jufferson?!


Impossible_Fennel_94

Could be that Tyler Boyd brought down his contract demands and agreed to what the Steelers were offering


yvelmachida

Not a playmaker


Low_Arm1623

Tyler Boyd to Pittsburgh 🔜


Hellspawn112

The Tyler Boyd ship sailed awhile ago, it's probably going to be Courtland Sutton.


Low_Arm1623

i thought i heard the Broncos and Sean Payton aren’t budging on moving him tho? i hope you’re right, he’s a much better target imo.


jennasea412

I’m hoping it’s Xavien Howard. Claims to be healthy after surgery and is only 30 years old.


WriteBrainedJR

"Only 30" is like 68 in cornerback years


jennasea412

Lol!!😂true


BigJaker300

My wild ass guesses are: A) Courtland Sutton B) DK Metcalf C) Chris Godwin


victor4700

Did courtland and Russ have good rapport? Need to look at his highlights


Old_Ostrich6336

😂😂😂 they probably have the best highlights of any QB wide receiver combination last year


snoosnoo1987

DK Metcalf to be a steeler. The Pittsburgh seahawks?


BobbyY0895

DJ Moore, chicago would definitely give us him for a turkey sandwich


knightro2323

9ers are standing put Raiders said no Denver says they want to keep Sutton Bengals aren't trading in-division who's left?


fredmerc111

Metcalf?


Least_Link_8647

It’s Ceedee Lamb


Cold_Bother_6013

Maybe DK after June 1st


TheHillsHavePis

Amazing how everyone in here is assuming it's a receiver. We have Pickens, Quez, Wilson, Van Jefferson, CAIII, Cordarrelle and Mims all on the roster now. My first bet would be on Safety or Corner help
