Steelers Panthers Trade

The Steelers have shipped long time wide receiver JuJu Smith-Shuster  and a 4th round pick in upcoming draft to the Panthers in exchange for wide receiver Darius Slayton, stand out linebacker Anthony Barr, and a 3rd rd pick in upcoming draft. 

Panthers are getting a versatile wide receiver in JuJu who they hope will get back into his glory days with the Panthers organization. In 2020 JuJu had a very productive 57 catch 1004yd 4td season but then followed that up with two disappaointing mid 300 yd seasons with the emergence of stand out wide receiver Darrel Pinkney the Steelers felt it was time to move on from JuJu but wish him well with the Panthers..

The Steelers are getting a true great xfactor linebacke in Anthony Barr who should make an immediate impact on the team as the linebacker group was a glaring weak spot. Darius Slayton will immediately become the #2 wide receiver on the Steelers depth chart and hopefully make an impact in the Steelers passing attack.

All in all good trade hopefully will work out for both sides.
