The Pittsburgh Steelers added a young first-round quarterback to their 90-man roster earlier this offseason, well before the 2021 NFL Draft—during which they most likely won’t be adding another. Of course, they are right in the middle of that time in which they will need to address the quarterback position as Ben Roethlisberger approaches the end of his career. But for now, the team will be kicking some tires.
Dwayne Haskins is the latest tire, signed to a Reserve/Future contract after the 2020 season ended. A first-round pick of the Washington Football Team in 2019, he was let go at the end of the year following two disappointing seasons in which it became clear that issues beyond the field were leading to a souring relationship between player and organization.
