VT. Pittsburgh on Alert: Steelers ‘Once Again in the Market’ and Exploring Options for a Key Trade Ahead of the NFL Deadline, Sources Say

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in adding a wide receiver for Aaron Rodgers at the NFL trade deadline.

Pundits have linked the Pittsburgh Steelers to wide receivers potentially on the NFL trade block for quite some time. That hasn’t changed even with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers offensive excelling with a tight end-centric attack.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday the Steelers are pursuing adding a wide receiver at the league’s trade deadline.

“The Steelers are, once again, in the market for a receiver, sources say,” Rapoport wrote. “Their offense has thrived by featuring multiple tight ends, but the addition of a speed threat to pair with DK Metcalf would help Aaron Rodgers and the offense.”

Top wideout DK Metcalf leads the Steelers with 22 catches this season. However, he’s the only receiver in Pittsburgh’s offense who is ranked in the top five in receptions for the unit.

Steelers No. 2 receiver Calvin Austin III is sixth for the team with 10 catches. Roman Wilson is third among Steelers wideouts and eighth on the team with four grabs.

Of Rodgers’ 14 touchdown passes this year, only seven of them have gone to receivers.

Clearly, the Steelers could use another outside playmaker.

Steelers Pursing WR Addition for Aaron Rodgers

Part of why the Steelers don’t have a lot of production at WR2 is because Austin is currently dealing with an injury. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since the fourth quarter of Week 4 because of a shoulder ailment.

That injury, though, just highlights how little depth the Steelers have a receiver.

A former third-round pick, Wilson has come on a little the past couple games. But mostly, the Steelers passing offense is Metcalf and the team’s tight ends.

On Thursday, Rodgers threw four touchdowns, all of which went to three different tight ends.

Running backs Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren have been significant contributors to the Steelers passing game as well. Gainwell and Warren are ranked second and fourth on the team, respectively, in catches.

If the Steelers could add a wideout, then they would gain additional insurance if Austin continues to be sidelined. Should Pittsburgh acquire an experienced veteran receiver, then the offense would have the ability to play three wide receiver sets more often once Austin returns as well.

Packers Star Micah Parsons Shocks NFL by Declining MVP Honor: “The One Who Deserves This Award… Is Him.”

In a game defined by grit, defense, and heart, Green Bay Packers linebacker Micah Parsons made headlines not for his three sacks, but for what he said afterward.

Following the Packers’ thrilling 27–23 road win over the Arizona Cardinals, Parsons was named the game’s MVP by several national outlets — a recognition that seemed obvious after his relentless performance. He disrupted Kyler Murray all night, forcing key third-down stops and setting the tone for a defense that carried Green Bay through the first half.

Yet when the trophy was placed before him, Parsons shook his head and stepped away from the spotlight. “I don’t care what people say about the MVP. Every time I see my teammates hugging after the game, every time I hear the roar of Packers fans echoing through the stadium — I know I’m in the right place. That’s what truly matters.”

At first, reporters were left guessing who “him” referred to. But the answer became clear soon enough — it was running back Josh Jacobs, whose bruising 98-yard outing and two fourth-quarter touchdowns completed Green Bay’s comeback and sealed their first road victory of the year.

Jacobs’ effort — fighting through illness and a lingering calf strain — had inspired the entire locker room. After the game, teammates shared how his determination kept the offense alive when fatigue and pressure started to mount. “That’s what leadership looks like,” Parsons later added. “He never said a word, just lined up and fought every down. Guys like that make everyone better.”

Across social media, fans and analysts alike praised Parsons’ humility. One ESPN commentator wrote, “You can’t coach that kind of respect — Parsons just showed the league what a true teammate sounds like.”

Meanwhile, kicker Lucas Havrisik quietly carved his own name into Packers history, hitting a record-breaking 61-yard field goal before halftime — the longest in franchise history. That kick kept Green Bay within striking distance and set the stage for Jacobs’ late-game heroics.

When asked if he regretted giving up his MVP moment, Parsons smiled. “Stats come and go,” he said. “But when you see a guy fight like that — through pain, through pressure — you know the game belongs to him.”

On a night where records were broken and reputations were built, Micah Parsons reminded everyone what true greatness looks like — not just in power, but in humility.

And as the locker room erupted in celebration, one sentence from Parsons lingered louder than the cheers: “He deserves it more than me.”
