Steelers Fail To Fulfill Rooney’s Offseason ‘Priority’ As Wilson, Fields Sign Elsewhere

When the owner of the ballclub sets an agenda, that is likely to be followed, right? Normally, the Pittsburgh Steelers are pretty good about loosely sticking to the plan to fulfill Art Rooney II’s offseason priorities, but the same can not be said of this offseason.

“I think they’re both capable quarterbacks, and my preference would be to sign one of them,” Rooney said via the Steelers website in late January. “So that will be the priority, and I think that gives us the best opportunity to move forward.”

The Steelers have always been an organization that values continuity.
