Pittsburgh Steelers have been identified as a potential trade destination for Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston, the former first-round draft pick who has struggled to meet expectations early in his NFL career. The speculation comes as Johnston enters a critical phase of his development with the Chargers.
Johnston, selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has yet to establish himself as a consistent playmaker in Los Angeles' offense. The 2026 preseason provided another opportunity for evaluation, with Johnston seen warming up before a Chargers-Rams game at SoFi Stadium on August 27.
Trade analysts suggest Pittsburgh's need for receiving depth could align with Johnston's availability, though any deal would depend on the Chargers' willingness to move on from their former top pick and the Steelers' assessment of his upside.
