Could Trey Palmer be on the move?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had the good fortune of exceptional depth at wide receiver position for the better part of the last decade. With that depth comes opportunities to shop talent to the rest of the league.
A report has surfaced that the Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in Tampa Bay Bucs receiver Trey Palmer.
The Steelers have checked in with the Buccaneers regarding WR Trey Palmer

Palmer was drafted by the Buccaneers in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. As a rookie Palmer showed promise, scooping up 39 catches for 385 yards and three touchdowns. Palmer also gave the Buccaneers a high-tier playoff highlight when he showcased his elite speed on a 56-yard catch-and-run score against the Eagles.
In his second season, Trey Palmer fell victim to the dreaded sophmore slump— Posting just 12 catches, 172 yards, and a touchdown. In a year where both of Tampa’s top horses missed significant time due to injury, Palmer should have had a more prominent role. Rather than step up he seemed to regress slightly, failing to find his footing in New offensive coordinator Liam Coen’s scheme.
Heading into year three, the Buccaneers have tremendous depth behind and in front of Palmer and may wind up cutting a quality player or two at the position by camp’s end. Palmer remains a 6-foot tall wide receiver who ran a 4.33 40-yard dash at the Combine. He is a young player with traits who has also stacked some on-field performances to reinforce those traits. If he has value to other teams around the league it may do the Buccaneers some good to explore it.
