Steelers Daily News & Links: Quiet Ravens Debut for Diontae Johnson; Cordarrelle Patterson Recruits Star WR to Pittsburgh
Steelers Daily News & Links: Your daily stop for all of the news and links from the Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL
? Diontae Johnson had a quiet debut with the Baltimore Ravens. He had zero targets and played limited snaps in the Ravens’ 41-17 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Johnson not being a part of the game plan was to be expected, as he was traded to Baltimore on Tuesday. He should have a bigger role moving forward.
? Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson is once again trying to recruit a wide receiver to Pittsburgh. This time it’s D.K. Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks. Patterson attempted to recruit Davante Adams and Brandon Aiyuk in the past but had no luck. He also tried to recruit New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams, who still could be a potential option for the Steelers prior to the trade deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 4 p.m. EST.
What you up 2 bruh? @dkm14 . Just checking on you.!!!

? The Cleveland Browns are expected to trade edge rusher Za’Darius Smith to the Detroit Lions, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
? ESPN’s Adam Schefter said it’s unlikely that both Steelers quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields return next season, as their price tags will be higher than expected.
“What is Russell Wilson gonna get on the open market?” Schefter asked on the Rothman and Ice podcast. “There’s a lot of teams that need quarterbacks and it’s not considered a great quarterback draft class… Anyone of these teams that needs a quarterback, what are they paying Russell Wilson on the open market?”
Schefter thinks both QBs could cost around $30 million in 2025.
“I think that’s not unreasonable,” Schefter said. “Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones, that kind of thing if Russell has a good season… And by the way, I could make that same argument for Justin Fields. The chances are they’re [the Steelers] not gonna bring back both [Fields and Wilson], but you wanna have one. So you want somebody to kind of distinguish themself, separate themself, and then reward that guy for what he does.”
? Jay Glazer of FOX Sports said the Steelers called the Los Angeles Rams about wide receiver Cooper Kupp a month ago.
“They’ve been calling around. They even called around like a month ago for the Rams trying to get a guy like Cooper Kupp,” Glazer said on FOX NFL Kickoff Sunday morning. “There’s just not a bunch of huge names. The huge names have kind of already moved out. Amari Cooper, Davante Adams. But there are teams like the Steelers looking for a wide receiver.”
? Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had an insane 180 hurdle in Sunday’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
THE 180 HURDLE??? DID SAQUON JUST INVENT THIS?!
