Pittsburgh Steelers' Top Trade Asset: Pat Freiermuth

0:00It's March 28th. NFL News Today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Corey with the story. Pro football focus just dropped their list of the top trade assets for all 32 NFL teams and the Pittsburgh Steelers pick Mike Hedgeham, fans off guard. Their analyst John Costco calls Titan Pat Fryermouth the most valuable chip on the table. Fryermouth brings that every down reliability as both a receiver and blocker. That season he posted a 67.4 overall grade and 68.5 receiving grade all on a sweet team-friendly contract after. Signing a four-year extension worth $8.4 million back in September of last year. Steelers fans know the real pain points hit harder up front on the offensive line where they need reinforcements to keep competing. Fryermouth drafted 55th overall in the second round of the 2021 draft, only managed 486 receiving yards, and four touchdowns while splitting snaps with other tight ends.

1:03Trading him could flip those assets into draft capital for a left tackle upgrade or linebacker death. Meanwhile, with Johnny Smith now released, young Darnell Washington steps up as one of the league's top emerging tight ends. Eyes are on Pittsburgh this off season. Will they deal Fryermouth to shore up the trenches or hold steady with their Titan Room Reloaded?
