The Pittsburgh Steelers have been quiet this offseason.

They have not made any splash moves in free agency or via trade.

Well, it looks like that is about to change.

According to Tom Pelissero, the Steelers are closing in on a deal to acquire Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson.

This deal came out of nowhere, but the Rams have been offloading higher-priced players all offseason.

Robinson was ineffective for the Rams last season.

He caught 33 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns.

It was an overwhelming year for a player expected to break out in LA.

Now as Robinson is set to head to Pittsburgh, there are mixed reviews from fans.

Robinson has fallen off in recent years, and he has been often injured.

Yet, many people remember how good he was in Jacksonville to start his career.

From the Steelers’ perspective, they needed a third wide receiver.

They currently have Diontae Johnson and George Pickens on the roster, and Robinson could slide into that third spot.

Also, the Steelers did not have to give up anything in this deal.

According to Adam Schefter, they traded a seventh-round pick and even got one back.

Moving back 17 picks in the seventh round and having to pay $5 million does not seem too bad for the Steelers.

It is a quality low-risk, high-reward move that can pay large dividends.

The Steelers want to give quarterback Kenny Pickett as many weapons as possible.

That is exactly what they are doing with this deal.
