The Pittsburgh Steelers are sticking with Mitch Trubisky as their backup quarterback as of now, but with NFL free agency and the draft ahead of them, it's hard to imagine them not finding a better option than a $10 million backup QB.
If the Steelers decided to move on from Trubisky, they'd save themselves $8 million this offseason. That's not a ton of money for the quarterback position, but when it's all said and done, they should be able to find someone worthy that's cheaper.
Their best option might be in the NFL Draft. And with one name sinking down the draft board but carrying some serious potential, it's starting to become a real thought that the Steelers make a splash for their QB2.
Landing the biggest backup quarterback steal isn't going to take much effort by Pittsburgh. This team has the resources and the patience to wait for their moment to shine. And in the NFL Draft, they can grab a backup quarterback with serious upside and a bright future on or off the bench.
