Following a 10-7 season that came to a crashing halt in the AFC Wild Card Round against the Buffalo Bills, the Pittsburgh Steelers now enter a pivotal offseason for the future of the franchise.
Head coach Mike Tomlin is expected to get an extension in the near future, locking him into the Steelers for the foreseeable future, so stability will still be there at the top.
But despite going 10-7 and reaching the playoffs, Pittsburgh has a major question mark at quarterback.
On Thursday during his year-end press conference, Tomlin stated that quarterback Kenny Pickett, despite a poor second season that saw him deal with a number of injuries and ultimately lose his starting job to Mason Rudolph late in the season even after recovering from injury, is the QB1 entering the offseason.
