Omar Khan made it clear that the Pittsburgh Steelers will add two extra gamers to their quarterback room. It simply stays to be seen how they try this. Aaron Rodgers remains to be out there, though the Steelers might need to attend some time for him. Pittsburgh might additionally commerce for Kirk Cousins. Drafting a quarterback within the first spherical additionally appears to be an possibility for the Steelers, with Shedeur Sanders being closely related to them. Nevertheless, ESPN insider Adam Schefter doesn’t imagine the Steelers can commerce for Cousins in the event that they draft Sanders.
“I feel Kirk [Cousins] desires to see how this draft goes,” Schefter stated Wednesday on The Wealthy Eisen Present. “In the event that they take Shedeur [Sanders], he’s not gonna need to go to Pittsburgh. That’s gonna be out.”
It’s been reported earlier than that the Steelers don’t appear to have numerous curiosity in Cousins. Nevertheless, in the event that they miss out on Rodgers, Cousins looks as if the following finest out there veteran. If the Atlanta Falcons are keen to eat most of his large contract and never ask for vital draft capital in return, perhaps the Steelers could be extra focused on Cousins.
Nevertheless, Cousins additionally reportedly has a no-trade clause in his contract. He’d must waive that for the Falcons to maneuver him. If he doesn’t like a possible commerce vacation spot, he doesn’t must go there. Meaning Cousins has to need Pittsburgh if they need him.
Final offseason, Cousins signed an enormous cope with the Falcons in free company. Shortly after that, they used their first-round choose on Michael Penix Jr., a quarterback. It feels like Cousins desires to keep away from being in that scenario once more with a first-round rookie on the depth chart with him.
The rumors connecting Sanders to the Steelers have heated up because the draft attracts nearer. Mike Tomlin had nothing however good issues to say about him. Sanders confirmed that he felt his assembly in Pittsburgh went nicely. There are numerous dots to attach.
That doesn’t assure that Pittsburgh goes to draft Sanders. He may not even be out there after they choose at 21. Nevertheless, if he’s there, it feels like they’ll think about taking him. That would make Cousins suppose twice about accepting a commerce to Pittsburgh.
Nevertheless, if the Steelers like Sanders sufficient to draft him within the first spherical, they in all probability received’t thoughts lacking out on Cousins. It’s not like he’s the identical participant he as soon as was. Final season, it appeared like he misplaced a step. The potential of buying and selling for Cousins shouldn’t cease the Steelers from drafting a participant they really feel could be their subsequent franchise quarterback.
