Steelers Trade Idea gets 6-Foot-7 Starter from AFC Playoff Team originally appeared on SportsNet Pittsburgh.

A new left tackle could help do that.With that in mind, Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton has an idea in a new article: Trade for Walker Little.The 6-foot-7 Little is with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Moton thinks he’d cost a mid-round 2027 draft pick for the Steelers to acquire him.”The Steelers have options at left tackle while Broderick Jones recovers from a neck injury,” Moton writes. “They can slide right tackle Troy Fautanu to the left side, as the team did during the spring, or attempt to fast-track rookie first-rounder Max Iheanachor’s ascension into a starting role. General manager Omar Khan should consider a third option: trading for Little, who lost the Jaguars’ starting left tackle position to Cole Van Lanen last season.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMORE: Darnell Washington hopes to lose a lot of weightIheanachor has a ton of physical talent, but it might be smart for the Steelers to let him watch and learn a bit first.Little was a second-round pick in 2021 out of Stanford.Through five seasons with the Jags, he has played in 70 games, including starts in 39 of them.Little is originally from Houston, Texas, and he just turned 27 years old on April 1.He wouldn’t have to be a long-term success for this to be a reasonable deal for the Steelers, who are sort of in a one-year window at the moment anyway given Rodgers’ presence at QB.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIf Little makes the offensive line better in 2026, then it’s a trade worth making.Latest Steelers newsHow ‘Renegade’ became Steelers’ pump-up songComplete history of Steelers championships
