The Steelers signed former Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins to a one-year contract last Thursday, prompting speculation they may see him as a developmental prospect with the potential to succeed Ben Roethlisberger.

The pros and cons of his signing were covered well in a Point-Counterpoint piece from Geoffrey Benedict and Shannon White to which I’ve linked below.
