Steelers Trade for Omar Cooper, Boost WR Depth

0:00From NFL coverage, this is your March 21st update. The Pittsburgh Steelers have shaken up their wide receiver group every year since 2024. They traded away Deontay Johnson that March and did not feel the gap right away. Then in 2025, they moved George Pickens shortly after landing DK Metcalf from Seattle. This March the Thursday straight-off season with a big trade at the spot as they just brought in Michael Pittman Jr. that gives them a solid starting duo, but the roster sits at only four receivers deep right now. Experts point out, Depp remains a weak point after last season struggles. One analyst predicts Pittsburgh grabs Indiana's Omar Cooper in the first round to build more talent there. Cooper just wrapped a standout year with 69 catches, 937 yards and 13 touchdowns. He played a key role in Indiana's national championship run. With quarterback questions lingering, adding a physical playmaker like Cooper could lock down the position for years ahead.
