PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers need a wide receiver. They're one of three teams that appear to be really looking at the NFL trade deadline . But once again, they're being linked to the least exciting option available.

Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. were the big names to watch over the last several days, as the trade deadline approached. The Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars, respectively, aren't sold on dealing either of them, but teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and the Steelers are trying to make a push for one of the top options available.

Then, as the weekend approached and the deadline continued to near, Tennessee Titans' Calvin Ridley's name entered the mix. Ridley became the third-biggest name to watch, but a much different option than Downs or Thomas.

And, of course, everyone is going to guess that'll be who the Steelers land.

I’d rather the Steelers make no move than trade anything for Ridley.

They tried the end of career receiver trade last year.…
