Steelers commentator and host of 93.7 The Fan, Andrew Fillipponi, threw some gas on the proverbial 'Pittsburgh trading for WR' fire. The trade rumor in question, from Fillipponi, focuses in on the Panthers attempting to move on from former three-time Pro Bowler and former All-Pro WR Adam Thielen. This isn't the first trade Pittsburgh has been linked to, as Omar Khan and the Steelers' organization attempted to trade for both WR Brandon Aiyuk and WR Davante Adams but ultimately came up short. 

Thielen is currently on IR after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3. He will be eligible to return no sooner than the Carolina Panthers' Week 8 contest against the Denver Broncos on October 27th. Could the Panthers activate Thielen and trade him between this date and the trade deadline on November 5th?

Fillipponi, asked fans of the 'Steel City' on social media if the team should pursue the former Vikings receiver.

Let us know what you think about the rumor involving Pittsburgh's sixth-round pick and Adam Thielen below:
