The Pittsburgh Steelers are exploring quarterback options for the upcoming season, considering both young prospects like Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph.

King expressed this possibility during a radio appearance on 93.7 The Fan, indicating that Steelers coach Mike Tomlin might prefer an experienced signal-caller. Another Steelers insider, Ed Bouchette, echoed the sentiment, describing the signing of Russell Wilson as a “no-brainer” for Pittsburgh.
