The Steelers have stepped up their efforts to trade quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Pittsburgh was rebuffed by St. Louis over the weekend, but a league source said Wednesday that Oakland is more open to a deal.
The Raiders need a veteran quarterback and they tried to land Donovan McNabb before Philadelphia sent him to Washington.
Oakland owes the eighth overall pick and could use it to land Roethlisberger.
