Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and for the moment, Washington’s Michael Penix Jr., are the quarterbacks dominating the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason discussion. But Wilson and Fields are not the only two quarterbacks brought in by the team. A third was added this week in journeyman veteran Kyle Allen. If he ever starts, there’s a problem, but his experience at a presumably low cost is exactly what the Steelers were looking for.
Allen spent last season as Josh Allen’s backup in Buffalo, effectively switching places with Mitch Trubisky, who served as Allen’s backup in 2021. Kyle Allen didn’t throw a single pass last year.
