What happened: Pittsburgh is being floated as a landing spot for Cardinals safety Budda Baker and Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks in a set of proposed pre-camp moves. The same proposal sends linebacker Patrick Queen to the Los Angeles Rams and wide receiver Roman Wilson to the Los Angeles Chargers, with Pittsburgh acquiring a mix of mid- and late-round picks across 2027 and 2028. None of the deals are official; they are speculative targets built around Pittsburgh's recent appetite for offseason trades.

Why it matters: The Steelers have not won a postseason game since the 2016 season but remain perennial January contenders, and adding Baker would give them another proven safety alongside Jaquan Brisker and DeShon Elliott. Brooks would fortify the middle of the defense, while moving Queen — in the final year of his deal — and Wilson would clear roster and cap room. Arizona and Miami are both positioned for rebuilds, making veterans like Baker and Brooks plausible sellers.

What to watch: Watch whether Pittsburgh's front office, active in past offseasons, pursues any of these names as training camp opens and roster decisions firm up.
