What happened: Bleacher Report analyst Moe Moton identified Walker Little as a trade target for Pittsburgh general manager Omar Khan to reinforce the offensive line before training camp on July 28. Broderick Jones is recovering from a neck injury and appears unlikely to play in Week 1, prompting Troy Fautanu to shift from right to left tackle during spring drills. Little lost his starting left tackle job last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who enter 2026 with AFC contender aspirations, to Cole Van Lanen but has logged meaningful snaps at both tackle positions and right guard.

Why it matters: Pittsburgh must stabilize its line after Isaac Seumalo departed for the Arizona Cardinals in free agency and Mason McCormick moved from right to left guard. That reshuffling leaves Spencer Anderson and Gennings Dunker competing for the right guard opening, while rookie first-rounder Max Iheanachor and Dylan Cook battle for the starting right tackle role. Adding Little would provide veteran stability and a reliable bridge at offensive tackle until Iheanachor is prepared for a full-time starting assignment.

What to watch: The Steelers report to training camp on July 28, with their first on-field practice scheduled for July 29. General manager Omar Khan and the coaching staff will evaluate whether Max Iheanachor can secure the right tackle job during summer drills before pursuing an external trade.
