Jonnu Smith might not be the only Steelers trade target.

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith might not be the only offensive player the Steelers have shown interest in trading for.

A few hours after the Adam Schefter report about the Steelers’ interest in Smith, NFL insider Jordan Schultz posted on X that Pittsburgh has had “preliminary conversations with multiple teams” about acquiring a new offensive weapon.

Schultz said that the Steelers hope to get a deal done “at some point,” but it doesn’t seem like the team is in a hurry.

Despite trading for D.K. Metcalf this offseason, the Steelers still have a hole at wide receiver after sending George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. However, given the team’s reported interest in Jonnu Smith and Schultz’s vague wording of “playmaker,” the team is clearly open to adding talent that doesn’t necessarily have to be a wide receiver.

As Schultz notes, the Steelers could have up to 12 picks in the upcoming NFL Draft, giving them plenty of ammo to make a move.
