Overview

• An unnamed former general manager, via Andrew Fillipponi, said Pittsburgh could fetch a third- or fourth-round pick for Freiermuth and pointed to the Rams or Commanders as logical destinations.
• Through four games in 2025, Freiermuth has seven catches for 65 yards and recently ceded snaps to Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington.
• Freiermuth is under a four-year, $48.4 million extension through 2028, and the NFL trade deadline falls on November 4.
• Heavy, citing Over The Cap, notes the Rams hold about $15.6 million in cap space, enough to absorb the prorated portion of Freiermuth’s roughly $12.9 million 2025 cap hit.
• Steelers Depot reports an in-season trade would trigger about $2.1 million in 2025 dead money and $6.3 million in 2026, and Ray Fittipaldo expressed doubt that a deal happens in the next month.
