the Steelers are planning to acquire a new quarterback during the upcoming offseason.

Despite having to rotate through three different quarterbacks during the 2023 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers achieved ten victories and secured a spot in the playoffs. Although their objective for the next season will be to make a return to the playoffs, the Steelers probably aim to avoid the need for multiple quarterbacks to accomplish this goal.

As the NFL offseason approaches, Kenny Pickett remains the frontrunner for the Steelers’ starting quarterback position. However, this status could shift during training camp, as Pittsburgh intends to introduce another quarterback into the competition, according to insights from Adam Schefter.

Schefter shared on the Pat McAfee Show, “We know that Pittsburgh’s going to go out and get some type of quarterback. Whether that’s Ryan Tannehill, whether that’s Russell Wilson, whether that’s Justin Fields. I know Mike Tomlin’s a big fan of Justin Fields. We’ll keep that in mind during the off-season and the coming weeks.”

For nearly two decades, the Steelers enjoyed stability at the quarterback position with Ben Roethlisberger. However, inconsistencies among the trio who have started games since his retirement – Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and Mitch Trubisky – have prompted Pittsburgh to seek a dependable starter to bolster their roster.

Discussing the possibility of adding a quarterback is one thing, but taking action to acquire one is another matter entirely. The three quarterbacks mentioned by Schefter – Ryan Tannehill, Russell Wilson, and Justin Fields – each bring their own unique appeal, sparking intrigue among Steelers fans who are likely already envisioning potential scenarios to secure one of them or perhaps another quarterback not yet mentioned on the roster.
