There’s been some chatter lately about the Pittsburgh Steelers making a move for an established starting quarterback. After team owner Art Rooney II said that the Steelers were “not closing the door” on trading for a quarterback, reporters like Albert Breer floated the possibility of the Steelers trading for Justin Fields. Rooney then clarified that the Steelers likely weren’t going to make a blockbuster trade, but it’s also unlikely that Pittsburgh is going to make any sort of major splash at the quarterback position.
From a monetary perspective, the only quarterback who could make sense from outside the organization who would fit as a “splashy” signing is Russell Wilson.
