We have another trade in the NFL.
The latest swap is an intra-divisional one: The Steelers will send a 2021 fifth-round pick to the Ravens for defensive lineman Chris Wormley and a 2021 seventh-rounder, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter).
Wormley, a third-round pick in 2017, was tapped to be a replacement for Timmy Jernigan after he was shipped to the Eagles. Wormley didn’t pan out exactly as hoped, but he did provide the Ravens with 39 appearances, including 15 starts, over three seasons.
Along the way, Wormley managed 2.5 sacks from the interior. Last season, he saw 482 snaps with a roughly even split between passing and running plays. Pro Football Focus assigned him a 65.6 overall score, slotting him as the No. 63-ranked defensive tackle in the NFL.
A repeat performance would make him a great value for Pittsburgh as Wormley still has one year to go on his original rookie deal.
