The Pittsburgh Steelers have been identified as a potential trade destination for Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston, according to a report from Heavy.com published on November 5, 2026. Johnston, a former first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has yet to meet expectations in his first three seasons with the Chargers.
The 24-year-old receiver has recorded modest production since being selected 21st overall, leading to speculation that a change of scenery could benefit both player and team. The Steelers, who have sought consistent receiving options alongside George Pickens, could view Johnston as a low-risk, high-upside acquisition.
Los Angeles may be willing to move on from Johnston as they reshape their offense around quarterback Justin Herbert. Any trade would likely involve a mid-round draft pick, given Johnston's current contract status and performance trajectory.
