The Pittsburgh Steelers are leaving the door open on a potential offseason QB trade, according to team president Art Rooney II. The offense experienced a number of issues in 2023, many of which revolved around the position.
The Steelers saw a carousel of passers line up in the backfield last season due to both injury and inconsistent play. Kenny Pickett began the year as the starter, but he’d be one of three players to take snaps under center.
The struggles were season-long for the offense, which ranked as one of the NFL’s worst in terms of scoring. Pittsburgh was outgained in each of its first 10 games, leading to the midseason firing of offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

Things went from bad to worse when Pickett went down with injury, forcing Mitchell Trubisky into the starting lineup.
With Trubisky at the helm, the Steelers were winless, failing to eclipse 200 passing yards in either of his two starts. The struggles led to his being replaced by Mason Rudolph.
