The Pittsburgh Steelers have attempted to fix the quarterback position each offseason since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger following the 2021 season. Unfortunately, everything this team has tried over the past four years has fallen short.
Former general manager Kevin Colbert took a first-round swing on Pitt QB Kenny Pickett, but he quickly fell out of favor. Meanwhile, the in-house option, Mason Rudolph, only proved to be good for a few games over the years, while the collection of free agents like Mitch Trubisky, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers has underwhelmed.
Though GM Omar Khan will want to take his big quarterback swing in the draft, the Steelers may still be eyeing a bridge quarterback for the 2026 season—especially if head coach Mike Tomlin returns.
