According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to place an original round/right of first refusal tender on QB Dwayne Haskins this offseason. Fowler tweeted the news earlier Sunday morning.
The Steelers have indicated to Dwayne Haskins that they plan to place a restricted free agent tender on him for 2022, per source, and Haskins expects that to be an original-round tender, paying in range of $2.5 million. Another suggestion Haskins is in QB mix in Pittsburgh.

This move comes as no surprise, especially given Haskins’ recent comments that the Steelers told him he’d compete for the starting job this summer.
