Steelers may have gotten steal of the offseason!

The Pittsburgh Steelers and general manager Omar Khan decided to bring in additional help for quarterback Kenny Pickett, trading for former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II; the Rams decided to pick up the majority of his salary for the upcoming season. 

And if the words from NBC analyst Mike Florio hold any weight, the Steelers may have pulled off one of the heists of the offseason.

“I think if any other team would’ve traded for him, my reaction would’ve been, ‘Oh well, good luck’”, he recently said on 93.7 The Fan with Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller. “They must feel pretty good about what he can do in that offense”.

“Wow that they’ve basically stolen him, it tells me that other teams weren’t interested”, he went on. “I wonder how interested other teams would’ve been if they’d known that the Steelers were in on it, because that might’ve made other teams say, ‘Well, maybe there’s something here’”.

“With the Steelers doing it, I’m thinking they may have something here”, Florio said, adding that he shouldn’t be expected to put up his old numbers, but “he’s gonna be a nice complement to what they currently have. They’re gonna make a lot of people wish that they had taken a closer look and tried to get Allen Robinson”.

The 29-year old wideout was signed to a three-year, $46.5 million contract in March of 2022, but only hauled in 52 receptions for 339 yards with three touchdowns last season before his year was cut short after 10 games because of an injury.
