Pittsburgh radio host describes rumored trade package for Jaguars' WR
It is rumored that the 'Khan Artist' was nearly conned at his own game. The Pittsburgh Steelers' General Manager Omar Khan is beloved in the Steel City for his stellar draft selections, trade negotiations, and free agency signings.
However, a rumor coined by Pittsburgh radio host Andrew Filliponi of 93.7 The Fan, described on social media, suggests that the Steelers were extremely close to overpaying in a trade for Jacksonville Jaguars WR Christian Kirk, prior to his season-ending collarbone injury.
According to Filliponi, the rumor claimed Pittsburgh would have sent a 2025 third-round draft selection to Jacksonville in exchange for Kirk..
While fans should take the rumor with a grain of salt, if true, the Steelers' trade for New York Jets WR Mike Williams looks even more outstanding, as the 2025 fifth-round compensation given up is nowhere near as valuable as a third-round draft pick.
Williams should fit nicely into the offensive scheme in Pittsburgh, and fans could catch a glimpse of the Russell Wilson-Williams connection as early as Week 10, when the Steelers take on the Commanders on November 10th at 1:00 PM EST.
