The Pittsburgh Steelers are making early offseason moves after their playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, adding veteran quarterback Skylar Thompson. Announced by his agency, Thompson, formerly of the Miami Dolphins, was a seventh-round draft pick in 2022 and has made three regular-season starts with a 1-2 record. His signing is viewed as a depth addition amid uncertainty at the quarterback position, where key players Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Kyle Allen are set to enter free agency.

Coach Mike Tomlin spoke on the team's quarterback situation, noting the absence of a signed quarterback and the need for major discussions regarding their options. With the potential for a significant shift at quarterback, Tomlin acknowledged the importance of evaluating free agency and the upcoming draft pool as they consider their next steps.
