As Pittsburgh Steelers fans, we are comfortable talking about free agency in mid-January. That is typically when we are free of the NFL seasons, our beloved players already enjoying a much-deserved respite. After all, they made it all the way to the playoffs again, four times in five years. Nevermind the fact that they haven’t gotten past the first round in the better part of a decade.
So, yes, the chatter around the Steelers is already in “what next” phase. Even HC Mike Tomlin said they have half a day set aside coming up to dissect the quarterback situation.
