As expected, Pittsburgh Steelers team president Art Rooney II didn’t reveal anything earth-shattering during his roughly 20-minute-long conference call with Steelers Nation Unite on Wednesday. That said, Rooney did indicate on Wednesday that the team is probably unlikely to add another backup quarterback during free agency this offseason.
Rooney’s comments on the Steelers possibly not addressing the quarterback position this year during free agency came in his response to a fan question asking if the team has plans to add a free agent quarterback, running back or wide receiver this offseason.
“As I mentioned before, we are in the process now of preparing for free agency and the new league year starts on March 18th, so there’s nothing we can really do between now and then other than prepare for it,” Rooney said in response to the question.
