Pryor: Steelers, Omar Khan Considered Both Ryan Tannehill And Kirk Cousins At QB

The Pittsburgh Steelers overhauled their quarterback room in the span of one week this offseason. First, they signed Russell Wilson. Then they traded Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles before trading for Justin Fields. However, it all could have gone differently. There were two names that the Steelers considered that did not end up happening: Ryan Tannehill and Kirk Cousins.

ESPN’s Brooke Pryor wrote about the makeover on ESPN.com on Friday, and she dropped some interesting nuggets about how things could have gone differently.

“The Steelers also considered reuniting Tannehill with his former offensive coordinator Smith, per a team source,” Pryor wrote.
