Colin Cowherd Proposes Controversial Steelers Trade Plan

Colin Cowherd has sparked controversy with his proposal for the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade star players T.J. Watt and George Pickens, along with two first-round picks, to draft quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft. Cowherd argues that the Steelers need to make bold moves to find a long-term solution at quarterback, citing the team's struggles since Ben Roethlisberger's retirement. However, his trade suggestion has met with significant backlash from fans and analysts alike, who question the wisdom of sacrificing such key assets for a player who may not guarantee success. Many believe the proposed trade is excessive, especially given the perceived weaknesses of the 2025 quarterback class. While Cowherd acknowledges the Steelers' need for a franchise quarterback, critics argue that the cost of his proposal is too high and could leave the team without crucial talent. Despite the criticism, Cowherd maintains that Pittsburgh must take risks to remain competitive in the AFC North.
