4 wide receiver trade targets the Steelers could pursue after Calvin Austin's injury

An already bare Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver room suffered a massive blow when Calvin Austin III sustained a significant shoulder injury against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4 — putting a short-term hiatus on what’s been a strong start to a Year 4 breakout.

With Austin expected to miss time, here are four trade-target wide receivers the Steelers should pursue.

Allen Lazard — New York Jets

Will the Steelers finally pull the trigger and reunite Lazard with his former teammate and close friend Aaron Rodgers? Now seems like the perfect opportunity to make a deal with New York.

Curtis Samuel — Buffalo Bills

While Samuel isn't the flashiest name on this list, he is more than capable of becoming a solid contributor on Pittsburgh's offense. After spending the first three weeks as a healthy scratch, Samuel caught one pass for the Bills in Week 4 — but it's clear from consecutive placements on the inactive list that he isn't part of the plans moving forward.

Jakobi Meyers — Las Vegas Raiders

Meyers requested a trade in August, and his days in Las Vegas may soon be over after the Raiders dropped to 1-4. Meyers would form one of the best wide receiver duos in the league opposite DK Metcalf on the Steelers and could have a career year under Rodgers' leadership in 2025.

Chris Olave — New Orleans Saints

The Saints' roster could go on bargain sale after New Orleans dropped to 0-4 on the season — and Olave, who's playing on his fifth-year option without a long-term extension, could be the first of many to be traded. If Pittsburgh is truly all in on a Super Bowl this season, acquiring Olave is the move to make.
