Adam Schefter Floats 3 QBs Steelers Will Add
According to Adam Schefter, the Steelers may try to sign an experienced quarterback, and he listed three possible candidates.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will probably aim to bring Mason Rudolph back while also bolstering their quarterback room. However, Adam Schefter mentioned three players who he believed the Steelers should add to the quarterback position: Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, and Ryan Tannehill.
“We are aware that Pittsburgh plans to acquire a quarterback of some kind. If that applies to Ryan Tannehill. If that applies to Russell Wilson. On the Pat McAfee Show, Schefter stated, “Whether that’s Justin Fields.” “Justin Fields, I’m aware that Mike Tomlin thinks highly of you. We’ll have it in mind throughout the upcoming weeks and offseason.
Fields, a three-year starter who was selected in the first round by the Bears in 2021, has advanced with each season. However, the Bears now own the first overall pick and may target either Drake Maye or Caleb Williams of UNC. Fields might end up on the trading market as a result of it.
Just two seasons have passed since Denver acquired Wilson. On March 16, 2022, the Broncos traded Wilson to the Seahawks in exchange for tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, quarterback Drew Lock, and two first-round selections, two second-round selections, and a fifth-round selection.
Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowl player and Super Bowl champion with the Seahawks, has had difficulty in Denver.
In 2022, he recorded the lowest passer rating of his career (84.4), and he was benched a league-high 55 times.
Tannehill can still throw the ball well despite being 35 years old, having missed his Pro Bowl participation five years prior, and suffering an injury in 2023.
Following his injury comeback in late 2023, he played in three games and finished with a 92.8 passer rating, 6.71 adjusted yards per attempt, and 70% completion rate. Compared to 2023, Pickett’s stats are all better. From the moment Smith started using him as the starting quarterback until this season, when he was sidelined due to an injury, Tannehill led Tennessee in starts.
