NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has "heard" the Steelers are trying to trade Jonathan Dwyer.

It's not surprising after Friday's second-round selection of Le'Veon Bell. Dwyer is in a contract season and doesn't have a future in Pittsburgh. While he has some appeal as a power back with a passable 4.28 career YPC average, Dwyer's lack of passing-game and special teams value will sink his trade-market worth. The Steelers would probably take a sixth- or seventh-round pick in exchange.

Steelers re-signed restricted free agent RB Jonathan Dwyer to a one-year, $1.323 million contract.

Dwyer wasted no time inking the deal and "wanted to prove a point," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. In his second season out of Georgia Tech, Dwyer rushed for 623 yards and two touchdowns on 156 carries. He had back-to-back 100-yard efforts in the middle of the season, but his play was inconsistent down the stretch. However, Dwyer enters the offseason as Pittsburgh's top back. Look for the Steelers to try and add some competition.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette suggests that the Steelers may not tender restricted free agent Jonathan Dwyer.

If Dwyer failed to receive a tender, he'd become an unrestricted free agent. The Steelers view neither Dwyer nor fellow RFA Isaac Redman as viable starters, so the thinking here is that they wouldn't want to commit $2.7 million to two backup running backs. Redman is expected to be tendered and return as a third-down back. Dwyer, 23, may be allowed to move on.
