Steelers’ QB ‘Competition’ This Offseason Will Be A Farce — Again: It’s Russell Wilson’s Job

The Pittsburgh Steelers, led by team president and owner Art Rooney II, head coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan can state all they want that it will be a fair, open competition this offseason between third-year quarterback Kenny Pickett and veteran Russell Wilson, who plans to sign with the Steelers on Wednesday at the start of the new league year.

They can give all the lip service they want about believing in Pickett as a franchise quarterback moving forward. They can state they have “full faith” in Pickett, like Khan did at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.
