The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation isn’t ideal, we’ll put it that way. With Ben Roethlisberger facing uncertainty with his future, and that is putting it mildly, the Steelers don’t have much proven depth on their quarterback depth chart.
If Roethlisberger returns, he carries with him a hefty $41 million dollar salary cap hit. If Roethlisberger retires, or is nudged out the door, it would save the Steelers roughly $19 million on the salary cap, but turn the keys over to one of the following scenarios:
Mason Rudolph takes over as the starter.
Dwayne Haskins proves he is worthy to start.
