Pittsburgh Steelers Make Strong Move in Race for Davante Adams: Latest Updates

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are making significant strides in their pursuit of Davante Adams, eyeing him as a potential WR1 to enhance their offense, whether it's under Justin Fields or Russell Wilson. After a weekend that showcased their potential, they might be emerging as the frontrunners in this race.

During their Week 6 matchup in Las Vegas, the Steelers aimed to bounce back from two consecutive losses. Reports indicate they engaged in discussions with the Raiders regarding a trade for Adams. The next day, Adams witnessed the Steelers' 32-point performance against his current team, a game that could influence his perception of Pittsburgh as a landing spot. With standout performances from players like Najee Harris, the win could make the Steelers a more appealing option for Adams.

Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints, a previous contender for Adams, suffered a crushing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dropping their record to 2-4 and casting doubt on their season. This situation further solidifies the Steelers' position as serious competitors for Adams' services.

Adams also had his eyes on the AFC East clash between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. The Bills managed to secure a narrow victory, but neither team impressed, with the Jets now sitting at 2-4. This lackluster performance from potential rivals might strengthen the Steelers’ appeal to Adams.

As the trade deadline approaches, Pittsburgh finds itself in a favorable position against the Bills and possibly the Ravens. If the Raiders are willing to negotiate, the Steelers could very well secure an All-Pro wide receiver, much to the excitement of their fanbase. With Week 6 behind them, the Steelers appear to have gained a clear edge in the Davante Adams sweepstakes.
