Could potential trade target give Pittsburgh three-headed RB monster?
The Steelers' RB room could go from great, to unstoppable with a potential trade for Chicago Bears RB Khalil Herbert. Fans of the Steel City understand the team's identity on offense and what they do well—running the football. Third-string Steelers' RB and kick returner, Cordarrelle Patterson, has been injured for the past four Steelers' contests, forcing the the team to rely on practice squad elevations to alleviate depth concerns.
Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren form one of the most deadly rushing attack tandems in the league today, and a cheap trade for Herbert could make this Steelers offense even deadlier.
As Herbert has been used sparingly by Chicago, he would likely be relatively cheap to acquire. Steelers' General Manager Omar Khan has a track record of acquiring great talent for far less than their expected market value, and Herbert could be seen as a layup for the Pittsburgh GM.
An acquisition of Herbert takes nothing away from the team's need for a WR trade at the November 5th deadline, but makes all the difference in adding another dynamic playmaker to the running game.
