4 NFL teams that should be selling at the trade deadline
By Andrew Falce
Pittsburgh Steelers
While no one expected the Steelers to be a great team this season, their poor performance has been shocking to most fans. While the upset against the Buccaneers was nice, it does little to alleviate the woes of this team. A rebuild behind new quarterback Kenny Pickett may be in order, as this roster has plenty of fat to trim.
Devin Bush, Chase Claypool, and Terrell Edmunds headline a list of solid veterans that could be dealt. The Steelers could be even more aggressive though. Mitch Trubisky could be dealt to a quarterback-needy team as his time as the starter is essentially done. Najee Harris has been outplayed so far and could also be dealt.
This roster isn’t in a good position to succeed right now, and while wasting a year of their quarterback on a rookie deal isn’t ideal, it may be best for the team right now. They aren’t built to compete as of now, and it would make a lot of sense for the Steelers to be sellers heading into the NFL trade deadline.

While these four teams could, in theory, still turn their seasons around, it seems like a better bet that they turn into sellers at the NFL trade deadline. Turning players into draft picks makes the most sense for these rosters, as their current positions make it hard to believe that they are going to succeed for the remainder of this season.
