The Pittsburgh Steelers still don’t have a definitive starting quarterback for the upcoming season. Earlier this offseason, they signed Mason Rudolph, who had a brief stay with the Tennessee Titans; however, it appears he may be brought in primarily as a backup. The team may still explore options in the draft or even pursue Aaron Rodgers, the most prominent name remaining in free agency. Regardless of who takes the field under center, the Steelers are committed to ensuring he has the necessary protection to thrive.
“We have signed OL Calvin Anderson to a two-year contract,” the Steelers announced via their official Twitter account on Monday afternoon. Fans took to social media to react to the signing, with one expressing excitement: “Congrats to my dawg for going from undrafted to playing at least 7 seasons (assuming he plays these next 2 years) in the league.” However, another fan commented, “The depth of the trenches on both sides is comical,” suggesting that Anderson may not be a viable option even as backup. One fan inquired, “Nice. Now who is he blocking for?” It’ll be intriguing to see who Anderson will be tasked with protecting next season.
