One big reason the Steelers won't trade for WR Brian Thomas Jr.

With Week Nine of the NFL regular season in the books, all eyes are on the trade market for the next 24 hours. The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to be buyers as they prepare for the team's final nine games and sitting at 6-2 and on top in the AFC North.

We won't be shocked if the Steelers work multiple trades before the deadline, including help in the secondary and at wide receiver. But if the Steelers are hoping to add a wideout, don't expect it to be Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for one big reason.

Jacksonville beat the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, improving their record to 6-2. They are one of the best all-around teams in the AFC and clearly have their eye on a deep playoff run. Jacksonville pulled off a huge trade on Monday morning, adding safety Jessie Bates. They are clearly eyeing the AFC and for this reason, there's no motivation to help a team like the Steelers, or any other team in the AFC, better by trading them Thomas Jr.

If the Steelers work a trade for a receiver, there will be options. But there's no motivation for the Jaguars to send Thomas to a team they could face in the playoffs, especially if they think he can be a contributor.
