Player: Joshua Dobbs
Position: Quarterback
Experience: 5 Years
Free Agent Status: Unrestricted
2021 Salary Cap Hit: $900,000
2021 Season Breakdown:
The Steelers re-signed Joshua Dobbs on a one-year contract in mid-April, shortly before the 2021 NFL Draft. This was with Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph already on the roster, and with Dwayne Haskins having been added on a Reserve/Future contract. Ostensibly, he was competing with Haskins for the third and final quarterback slot.
Whether or not they would have kept the loser on the practice squad became a moot point by the end of the preseason, as Dobbs suffered an injury, and the Steelers placed him on the Reserve/Injured List for the remainder of the season, allowing them to carry him without worrying about a roster spot.
