The Pittsburgh Steelers have been linked to some of the biggest wide receiver trade targets at the NFL deadline, including Josh Downs, Brian Thomas Jr., and even Garrett Wilson. But one new report indicates the team was bargain hunting for some low-cost wide receiver talent, such as Calvin Ridley of the Tennessee Titans. This begs the question: Could the Steelers pull off a trade for Ridley?

According to 93.7 The Fan's Andrew Fillipponi, the Steelers were interested in Ridley, in addition to Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings. The pairing couldn't be better for Pittsburgh and Ridley.

Ridley, who is currently listed as a backup at WR2 on the 1-7 Titans, was a solid playmaker for the Atlanta Falcons (2018-2021) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (2023). His Titans tenure hasn't lived up to the hype, and the veteran wideout could desperately use a change in scenery with a Hall of Fame-bound quarterback in Rodgers.

It seems far more realistic that the Steelers would take this more modest approach to acquiring a receiver such as Ridley, a playmaker who would likely cost the Steelers no more than a late Day 3 draft pick.

We at Steelers Wire will monitor the situation surrounding Ridley ahead of the 4 p.m. ET deadline on November 10, with any potential trade updates for Pittsburgh being available on our live trade deadline tracker.
