During this offseason’s free agency period, the Pittsburgh Steelers are anticipated to pursue an experienced quarterback who is acquainted with the offence of recently appointed offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
After Mason Rudolph was benched in favour of former first-round pick and quarterback Kenny Pickett at the end of the regular season and during the playoffs, the Steelers’ quarterback position is unclear. After the 2023 season, Pickett passed for 2,070 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for quarterback competition.
According to the Steelers website, head coach Mike Tomlin stated that he hoped to see a quarterback competition for the 2024 season after the team’s Wild Card loss:
While Tomlin expressed his continued belief in Kenny Pickett as the team’s starting quarterback, he also expressed his desire for competition, whether it comes from Rudolph—a prospective free agent—or other quarterbacks.
Tomlin stated, “There will be competition there.” “There’s always competition in this thing. Nobody is anointed by us. I’m pleased to work with him going forward and grateful for his efforts and where he is. He will undoubtedly face challenges from the competitors, though. Proceeding ahead. We are all at our finest when we compete.
