The Pittsburgh Steelers are in pursuit of a starting quarterback following the departure of both their previous starters to New York City. Justin Fields was the first to leave, opting to sign with the New York Jets, while Russell Wilson surprised many by joining the New York Giants. The franchise now faces significant questions regarding the position, but they may address these concerns during the upcoming draft. Additionally, it appears increasingly probable that Aaron Rodgers could be signed, as his options for a new team dwindle.
Steelers general manager Omar Khan recently shared insights into the team’s offseason strategy. “Our goal is always to put ourselves in a position where we don’t have to take a guy at a specific position,” Khan stated in a video shared to YouTube by the Steelers. He added, “I feel like we’ve added some key pieces to what we’re trying to accomplish. There are some really good players in this draft that can help us across various positions. We’re working diligently to ensure our board is set properly, and while there’s more to be done, the coming three to four weeks are crucial. We’re right in the middle of it and feel positive.”
Given Wilson’s challenges with sacks during the season’s last weeks, it seems the Steelers are keen on strengthening their offensive line through the draft. It will be fascinating to observe how Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin navigate this draft as they aim to evade further playoff disappointments.
