He's been a 1,000-yard receiver in each of his three healthy seasons. And he has 43 catches for 527 yards and three touchdowns in 2026. Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was his signal caller for two of those productive seasons in New York, so there's pre-existing chemistry to potentially be mined.

Wilson offers 1,000-yard pedigree and Rodgers chemistry, but Jets unlikely to trade; cost-benefit unclear.

Jets star is one of the few names Khan could acquire with the clear intent to surpass Metcalf on the depth chart; he's been a 1,000-yard receiver in each of his three healthy seasons and has 43 catches for 527 yards and three touchdowns in 2026. Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was his signal caller for two of those productive seasons in New York, so there's pre-existing chemistry to potentially be mined. However, the Jets have him under contract through 2030 with no clear need to move him even amid a 2-6 start, and the Steelers would probably have to present an offer the Jets could not refuse. It's questionable whether that's worthwhile for the Steelers with Metcalf under contract and uncertainty at quarterback after Rodgers retires at the end of the year.
