Though the news of Arthur Smith becoming the Pittsburgh Steelers’ next offensive coordinator just happened, and we’re still six weeks away from free agency, it’s easy to connect the dots to QB Ryan Tannehill.
Pittsburgh wants quarterback competition. Kenny Pickett will enter camp as the starter but with someone to push him. Ideally, the Steelers want that to be Mason Rudolph, a pending free agent coaches and ownership have expressed a desire to re-sign. If they can agree to terms, the conversation ends. It’s Pickett versus Rudolph, see you in St. Vincent.
What if Rudolph walks?
