Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers may not be happy about what oddsmakers think of their chances to get a QB upgrade during the 2024 NFL offseason.
There has been some hope that the team would sign a big name to take over after Kenny Pickett struggled through his first two seasons in the league.
There are four QBs that have been brought up as potential offseason upgrades for the Steelers.
Those quarterbacks are Justin Fields, Baker Mayfield, Russell Wilson, and Kirk Cousins.
On February 6, DraftKings Sportsbook began releasing odds on where some of the 2024 offseason’s biggest free agents will play in 2024.
Mayfield didn’t have odds listed, which could indicate that he’s expected to stay with the Buccaneers.
The odds for the Steelers to land Cousins are +2500. They are +1400 to get Wilson. Their best chance is Fields, who they have ods of +1000 to get.
There are at least five teams with better odds than the Steelers to be the next team for each of these quarterbacks.
doesn’t bode well for aanybody hoping the team will get an upgrade during the 2024 offseason, but things could change to make a move more realistic for the Steelers.
How the Odds Could Change
While the odds don’t look great for the Steelers to get their QB upgrade right now, there are a few moves that could end up helping them out.
The most obvious move that will change the odds for one of these acquisitions is the Broncos actually releasing Wilson. Right now they have the second best odds to be his team next season.
If they release him as expected, the odds would immediately shift.
