Thanks to their need at wide receiver, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been one of the more popular teams mentioned as a possible landing spot for wide receiver Davante Adams, who has requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders.
And, unsurprisingly, the Steelers are reportedly interested in the former All-Pro wide receiver, and Pittsburgh is also on the list of destinations Adams would be willing to go to.
Former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has thoughts on where Adams will land, and it comes as zero surprise he thinks it’s going to be Pittsburgh.

Brown and Adams have several things in common. Both were among the best at their respective positions in their primes, they had multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro nods, and both had stints with the Raiders.
Adams has been in Las Vegas for two-plus seasons now, but Brown’s stint was much shorter. In fact, the Steelers great never played a single snap for the Raiders before he got himself released after several issues with the team. Earlier this offseason, Brown joked that he was going to retire a Raider.
While the Steelers seem to be very much in contention for Adams, the feeling is that his first preference is to go to the New York Jets, where he’d reunite with former teammate and quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
So, while the Steelers have a chance, we definitely wouldn’t say they are the favorites and chances are they come away with a different wideout before the trade deadline, if any at all.
