Steelers' top 2026 free agent target could not be more obvious

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have no shortage of needs during the 2026 offseason. Despite significant roster turnover in 2025—which included the addition of players like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, and Darius Slay—Mike Tomlin's team underwhelmed.

Now the Steelers will be looking to fix a glaring issue that has loomed for years: the quarterback position.

Since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers have shuffled through a variety of starting quarterbacks. Unfortunately, veteran acquisitions like Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Mitch Trubisky fell short, while draft picks like Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph proved to be nothing more than quality NFL backups.
