The Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons have had similar stories this past offseason. When you think about it, the Falcons were always just a step behind the Steelers. Let me explain...
Both the Falcons and Steelers saw their franchise quarterbacks depart for one reason or another. The Steelers saw Ben Roethlisberger retire, while the Falcons traded Matt Ryan to the Indianapolis Colts for nothing more than a mid-round pick.
Needing a quarterback, both organizations went to both free agency and the 2022 NFL Draft to find their answer.
When the new league year began in March, the Steelers wasted no time when the legal tampering period began and they signed Mitch Trubisky as a free agent.
