The Pittsburgh Steelers are not expected to be a landing spot for Las Vegas Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby, according to a report from Josina Anderson. Despite recent movement in the trade market, a league source indicates that the Steelers currently have "other needs" they are looking to address.
This update comes on the heels of reports that the Baltimore Ravens have backed out of potential trade discussions for the three-time Pro Bowler. While the Steelers reportedly maintain a high level of respect for Crosby and his impact on the field, the organization is focusing its resources on different areas of the roster as the trade deadline draws near.
Crosby has been the subject of significant trade speculation as the Raiders navigate their season, but it appears a move to the AFC North via Pittsburgh is not in the cards. The Steelers' decision to pass on the elite defensive end suggests the front office is satisfied with their current edge-rushing rotation or is prioritizing offensive reinforcements.
