Based on all the work the Pittsburgh Steelers did in the offseason reshaping and retooling the roster ahead of the 2022 season, it’s very clear that the black and gold believe they can contend one season after losing longtime GM Kevin Colbert and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to retirement.
Contending likely only comes with veteran free agent signee Mitch Trubisky under center as the next starting quarterback for the Steelers, at least in 2022, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show Monday afternoon following a tour of Steelers Training Camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on Chuck Noll Field, Breer stated the the Steelers “feel like” they have a contender ahead of a year of transition, and that the contention likely comes with Trubisky — not rookie Kenny Pickett or Mason Rudolph – under center, at least this season.
