Steelers Make Exploratory Call on Saints WR Rashid Shaheed

The inquiry reflects Pittsburgh’s search for receiver help during Calvin Austin’s injury.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh contacted New Orleans during its bye week to “take their temperature” on Rashid Shaheed, according to 93.7 The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi on X.
  • No deal has been agreed and discussions are described as preliminary and exploratory.
  • Shaheed, a vertical threat and return specialist in a contract year, has 22 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns this season.
  • He showcased his speed with a long touchdown in Week 5, drawing interest as the trade deadline approaches.
  • The Steelers previously checked on Chris Olave in May, but the Saints declined to engage on a trade at that time.
