The quarterback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024 is uncertain as Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph are anticipated to
compete this season despite NFL speculations linking the team to other options. But it seems like the choice would already be made if
it were up to the Steelers players.
It’s clear after a few days of the 2024 NFL offseason that the Steelers are split on their quarterback strategy. According to recent
reports, head coach Mike Tomlin is reportedly infatuated with Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who has been widely linked to
trade speculations this winter in the NFL.
Acquiring a player of that type, though, seems improbable since the Bears front management is averse to losing out on a quarterback
who would challenge for the starting job right away. Although Ryan Tannehill is still available in the NFL free agency pool, players and
front office staff of the Steelers seem to disagree on who should start as quarterback in 2024.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room is “clamoring” for veteran quarterback Mason Rudolph to start over Pickett for Pittsburgh in
2024, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
It’s thought that the front office in Pittsburgh would much rather have Pickett start the next season. Going into the offseason, the
former first-round pick is still the frontrunner, according to Dulac, who reports that the expectation around the NFL is for
It’s concerning that there is still such disagreement over what to do at quarterback for such a venerable team that was once among the
greatest NFL dynasties in history. It looks that the Steelers’ starting quarterback in 2024 will probably be either Pickett, Rudolph, or
maybe Tannehill in a reunion with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith because a high-end starter seems to be off the table this
offseason.
