Last season the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback position got flipped on its head when Ben Roethlisberger announced his retirement. Pittsburgh immediately went to work to find a replacement. In the end, Kenny Pickett took control of the position and looks to be the future of the team.
But no matter how good Pickett might be, Pittsburgh’s backup spot is vital. Right now the Steelers have Mitch Trubisky under contract and Mason Rudolph is set to hit free agency. Trubisky started the season as the starter but was benched a month into the season for Pickett. Trubisky also carries a significant cap hit that the Steelers might not want to pay.
