The Pittsburgh Steelers have jumped out to a lead in the AFC North and established themselves as conference contenders behind the timeless play of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but the team may still want more help for their 41-year-old signal-caller. The team already made a big move in the offseason when it landed receiver DK Metcalf in a blockbuster trade, then shook up the wide receiving corps again when they shipped George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers could have one more addition on the way, with one anonymous source telling Fox Sports that the team would be active in seeking another wide receiver. The source added that a pair of other teams are expected to be active in the wide receiver market ahead of the NFL trade deadline, but neither may be as aggressive as the Steelers.

"I'm a professional at the end of the day," Meyers said Tuesday. "I'm just trying to play good football. If I'm here, like I said, I'll play good football. If I'm not here, I'll go out there and play wherever I'm supposed to be."
