Steelers Key player accept a $700 million proposal From….

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus acknowledged that Ryan Tannehill is the most logical free agent quarterback addition, especially with Arthur Smith taking over as the team’s new offensive coordinator. On the February 2 episode of the PFF NFL Show, however, Spielberger still listed the Steelers as one of his preferred landing locations for quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Because of their Tennessee days together, Ryan Tannehill and Arthur Smith make for an easier relationship, according to Spielberger. But I also wonder if the Steelers sit there and think, ‘Hey, we’ve had a number of years when we’ve gone 9-8, 10-7, with quarterback play that is, to put it mildly, replacement level. Below average, without a doubt.

“I believe Cameron Heyward will turn 35 in the upcoming year. T.J. Watt will be 30 this year. He will undoubtedly be good for a few more years, but perhaps they will just decide to make a little splash. Go acquire Kirk Cousins, and with everything remaining the same, we believe we can win a few postseason games, but with a noticeable improvement as QB.

“It’s there that Pittsburgh becomes fascinating,”

It’s possible that Cousins will re-sign with the Minnesota Vikings, but he will be the best quarterback available to free agents this offseason.

Cousins is 76-67-2 as a starter in the NFL and will turn 36 in August. Before sustaining a torn Achilles tendon on October 29, 2023, he guided the Vikings to a 4–4 record.

Additionally, Cousins has a 1-3 postseason record. In 2024, the Steelers want to snap a five-game losing streak in the playoffs.

Clearly, Cousins is a better option than Kenny Pickett. That cannot be disputed.

Spielberger also believed that the Steelers would be a good place for Cousins to land because he didn’t think Pickett would work well in Smith’s offense.

Spielberger remarked, “Arthur Smith can change, I’m not saying he can’t.” “However, his past actions, along with those of Kenny Pickett and this offense, are not identical in any manner, shape, or form.”
