3 cornerback trades the Steelers could make at NFL deadline

The Pittsburgh Steelers require a cornerback after suffering injuries and trading Joey Porter Jr., but they may have several potential options before the NFL trade deadline on November 11. Three such targets include Kristian Fulton, Carrington Valentine, and Tariq Woolen.

Fulton, a Kansas City Chiefs cornerback, is in the final year of his contract and has been relegated to a backup role in recent seasons. The Steelers' acquisition could provide him with a more prominent role on their defense. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers' fourth-year cornerback, Carrington Valentine, has appeared in 53 games, starting 30 of them. With his limited playing time, a trade with Pittsburgh seems likely.

Last but not least, the Philadelphia Eagles' Pro Bowl cornerback, Tariq Woolen, is eligible for a one-year deal, making him a target for the Steelers. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches and running a 4.26 time, Woolen possesses elite size and speed. Although he has had inconsistent performances, he could be a suitable replacement for Porter in the short term.
