The Pittsburgh Steelers have made it clear that they are not looking to bring in a veteran quarterback to challenge Kenny Pickett for the starting position. Despite speculation that the Steelers might pursue big-name quarterbacks like Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins, or even Russell Wilson, the team is committed to giving Pickett a third season to prove himself.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, there is internal division over Pickett among the Steelers' staff, but the team remains focused on supporting the former first-round draft pick. Gerry Dulac writes that there are no plans to add a veteran QB who expects to start, emphasizing that the Steelers want to see if Pickett can lead them to more success than just winning a playoff game.

While there were rumors of potential quarterback acquisitions in the 2024 offseason, it is now clear that Pittsburgh is set on developing Pickett into their long-term solution under center. Steelers fans can expect to see Pickett given the opportunity to prove himself for at least one more season as their starting quarterback.
