Breaking News! The Steelers have traded veteran CB Mike Hilton to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange the the Colts 3rd round draft selection in the 2023 draft. This trade comes as the Steelers hit the midway point of the season sitting at a very disappointing record of 2-6. Trading away a high quality cornerback of Hilton seems like they are giving up on their season. When asked Steelers head coach DoubleD  had the following to say. "Feels like we have had some shitty breaks this season. We have been in alot of the games we lost by field goal or touchdown margin but we just cant seem to get on a roll. We wish Hilton the best in Indy and the rest of his career. Was a decision based on the future more so than this season." Hilton had been productive for the Steelers the prior two seasons but with rookie CB Gordon Morris suprasing both Hilton and Nelson to become #1 on the depth chart Hilton  had been delegated to splitting time at slot cb with FA signing D.J. Reed. D.J. Reed had been getting the edge on Hilton lately so the writing was on the wall that Hiltons' days in Pittsburgh were numbered.
