Former Steelers LB Named Trade Candidate
PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Devin Bush could be on the move after being named a potential trade candidate for the Seattle Seahawks.
Bush signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks this offseason after leaving Pittsburgh in free agency. The former first-round pick has played in just three games this season, recording three tackles. Now, he could be headed to his third team.
The Athletic recently released a list of potential trade candidates for all 32 teams, with local beat writers selecting the player most likely to be shopped. Michael-Shawn Dugar believes, for Seattle, that player is Bush.
"The Seahawks aren’t in position to be sellers, but one spot they could feel good about making a move is inside linebacker. Seattle has a surplus of talent at tight end and cornerback, though a trade at the former wouldn’t be worth it — and the cornerback room is too banged up to dump anyone right now. At inside linebacker, Seattle has Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks playing at a high level, making Bush, who has played well in his limited opportunity, an expendable player. He’d immediately help a team in need of a coverage linebacker," Dugar writes.
The fall off of Bush hasn't been pretty. Since being the 10th overall pick in 2019, the former Michigan star has dealt with an ACL injury that took some time to return from. After he returned to the field, he was never able to find his footing again and has since struggled to stay in the starting lineup in the NFL.
