In the midst of quarterback rumors swirling around the organization, the Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly shown little interest in pursuing any big-name quarterbacks this offseason. Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, in conjunction with Dianna Russini, reported that the Steelers are not involved in trade discussions for Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields.

Furthermore, sources have revealed that the organization is unlikely to pursue the likes of Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, or Baker Mayfield in free agency. The coaching staff and front office have made it clear that they are committed to their current roster of quarterbacks.

Last week, Omar Khan, the Steelers' front office executive, publicly expressed his support for quarterback Kenny Pickett and expressed a desire to bring back Mason Rudolph. These intentions align with the statements made by head coach Mike Tomlin and owner Art Rooney II during the offseason.

The Steelers are likely to focus on retaining Rudolph and giving him the opportunity to compete with Pickett. Should they fail to sign Rudolph, they may turn their attention to a lower-tier quarterback in free agency, such as Ryan Tannehill, who has previous experience working with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.

The decision not to pursue high-profile quarterbacks like Wilson or Cousins may be attributed to the organization's desire to give Pickett a chance to prove himself. The team believes that Pickett's development was hindered by the previous offensive coordinator, Matt Canada, and that a new offensive approach under Mike Sullivan could bring out the best in him.

Trading for Fields was always deemed unlikely due to the high asking price in draft compensation and the commitment required to pick up his fifth-year option. The Steelers seem determined to give Pickett the opportunity to establish himself as the team's starting quarterback.

As the legal tampering period approaches, it remains to be seen how the Steelers' lack of interest in top quarterbacks will translate into their offseason plans. However, with DeFabo's report reinforcing previous signs, it appears that the organization is unlikely to make a major move in acquiring a new starting quarterback.

The focus on internal options and the belief in Pickett's potential signal a patient and strategic approach by the Steelers. Fans will soon witness the team's actions during the offseason and discover what moves Pittsburgh decides to make in bolstering their quarterback position.
