Throughout the course of the 2025 NFL offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers went all-in on competing for a Super Bowl run. Aaron Rodgers was signed to a one-year deal in free agency, while the team also made trades to acquire DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, and Jonnu Smith.
Rodgers is on a one-year deal and plans to retire following the upcoming season. If that is indeed the case, the Steelers may truly have a one-year window to win a championship.
Keeping that in mind, it seems likely that Pittsburgh is still open to moves that would improve its Super Bowl chances. One option may come available.
Miami Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been mentioned in trade rumors all offseason long. While he's still on the team, that could change.

Recently, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler spoke out about Hill. He revealed that the elite wide receiver might still be a trade option.
"I have talked to a few teams who are at least monitoring his future a little bit," Fowler said. "Could he be a potential trade target? Now, I know the Dolphins earlier this summer were telling teams, 'No, we're not trading Tyreek Hill.' But they just wonder, is he going to be available?
"It could be wishful thinking, maybe they want him to be available. But he's a player, when I bring up to teams, 'Hey, who is sort of a trade target you're watching?' — they bring up Tyreek Hill. So, we'll see. He's a big option for Tua [Tagovailoa], that would be a major move if they did move away from him."
Who could those teams be that are monitoring his availability? Noah Strackbein of Pittsburgh Steelers on SI has suggested the Steelers as one of them.
"Maybe Pittsburgh isn't at the top of the list for Hill, but it's hard to imagine they aren't having some conversation about it," Strackbein wrote. "And if they think they can pull off a deal within the limits they deem acceptable, they could re-ignite their interest in the Dolphins star wide receiver."
A wide receiver duo of Metcalf and Hill would be nearly impossible to stop. They would form by far the best wide receiver room that Rodgers has ever worked with.

Last season with the Dolphins, Hill had a down year. He still caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns. Back in 2023, he racked up 119 catches for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns, while totaling 119 catches for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022.
There are few offensive players in the NFL more impactful or dynamic than Hill. If he's made available, it would be shocking if Pittsburgh isn't among the teams pursuing him.
Expect to continue hearing rumors about Hill moving into the future. The Steelers are a team worth keeping an eye on as a possible trade suitor.
