Will Steelers trade Rico Dowdle? What fans should know
If the Steelers were interested in potentially dealing one of their veteran players, multiple-time 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle would make for an excellent trade candidate.
Key points
- The trade market for running backs also doesn't particularly favor the Steelers, as teams in need of help at the position appear to be focusing their interest on bigger names, such as Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts and Breece Hall of the New York Jets.
- But the same can't be said for every possible Steelers trade candidate, such as linebacker Cole Holcomb, who may be dealt at the November 10 deadline.
- As the NFL trade deadline arrives, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a few interesting routes to pursue.

- Still, the Steelers are 6-2, and one key injury would take Pittsburgh's top-five running back room to one of the league's worst.
- It's probably more likely that Dowdle remains a Steeler through the 2026 season.
- His versatility and success with multiple different NFL teams would make him a valuable addition to almost any offense in the league.
