The Pittsburgh Steelers have found themselves in a somewhat dubious position heading into the 2024 season. The refrain after the 2023 season was that the team needs to win in the playoffs now. It’s not enough to just make the playoffs. That was echoed by team president Art Rooney II, head coach Mike Tomlin, and general manager Omar Khan.
The biggest need for the Steelers going into 2024 was fixing the offense. They brought in former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith to get the offense back to an NFL level. But they still needed a quarterback.
So Khan brought in both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
