Breaking news: Steelers Trade for Dual-Threat Quarterback.
The Pittsburgh Steelers may possibly seek their future field general in addition to their present pursuit of veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers in free agency. The Steelers are one of the five teams listed by Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport in a recent piece that he believes may trade for Anthony Richardson, the rookie quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts.
“To be honest, the turmoil surrounding the chase of Rodgers should raise concerns since the 41-year-old and team drama appear to go hand in hand these days. Additionally, Davenport notes that even if he signs with Pittsburgh, he will only be a temporary solution. “If the Steelers believe in Richardson’s talent, they could obtain a former top-five pick who could still be under team control for three more seasons at a reasonable amount.” Mason Rudolph, the starting quarterback for Pittsburgh right now, has demonstrated his ability to perform well in the past. Having said that, it is reasonable to conclude that he is not the Steelers’ best choice for the position going forward.
After suffering an injury in his first season and being benched in his second, Richardson’s NFL career has had a somewhat rocky start. However, he has displayed some of the most amazing throws we have seen in recent memory, along with bursts of arm skill. The Steelers may make a deal and get their potential future quarterback if they are prepared to take that gamble.
