The Steelers want depth at the trade deadline as the Bengals close in on the AFC North lead
The Pittsburgh Morning News team
The Steelers aren't sellers, and they aren't looking to make a high-priced investment either. With two days left as of Sunday night, depth interests them more than difference makers. ESPN's Adam Schefter has also given an update on possible trade target Brian Thomas Jr. of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Steelers went into Week 9 on the bye with the AFC North lead. Then the Bengals beat the Falcons in Madrid, and next Sunday's prime-time Steelers-Bengals game is now a matchup to see who takes control of the division.
