From the moment the 2023 season ended, the quarterback rumors started for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They were linked to every available, or potentially available quarterback, over the course of two months leading up to free agency. As it turns out, that is exactly what should have been happening. The Steelers landed on Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but at the annual NFL owners meetings in Orlando, head coach Mike Tomlin let on a little more about the team’s process.
“When the free agency process began, we only had one quarterback on our roster, and so we were looking at every available person on the market or every potentially available person on the market,” Tomlin said in a video posted on the Steelers’ team website.
