They're all in on Wilson, apparently.
I almost expect them to sign Tannehill as the #2 now.

Also, this probably indicates that they will be picking a QB rather early in this draft. QB and WR have become priorities along with C and OT
I guess somewhere along the way they felt he wasn't the answer. Little surprised they just didn't tell him to deal with it and compete.
More draft capital to take a stud WR in round 1 and then get Frazer in Rd 2 ?
Considering that Diontae and Pickens openly campaigned for Rudolph and Cam, Minkah and TJ all called Wilson to recruit him on his way to Pittsburgh, it's very possible that KP8 lost standing in the locker room and within the org as a whole. In that case, they might have felt like they didn't lose anything by NOT having him around to compete.
Or Justin Fields

The fact they signed Wilson for only one year implies they are not really sold on him either, though seem to think he is their best option for 2024.
It probably says more what they think about Kenny than anything.
Honestly, I would have just rather kept Rudolph.
Meh I figured he'd be here two more years then end up developing elsewhere... but hey I wish him well

So much for all the "Kenny lovers" saying how he was still the future of the Steelers. So much for Tomlin handling Kenny with kid gloves when they demoted him to QB 2 and Kenny threw a fit. This marks the Steelers entering the modern NFL and dealing with the obvious sh-- needing dealt with, hallelujah.

I think Tannehill's history with Arthur Smith makes him much more likely.

Developing to what? A career backup at best. He simply doesn't have "it."

Steelers moving up about 22 slots from mid 4th to end of 3rd. Steelers had back to back picks in the 4th.
Great move. Get rid of the temptation to save face on the Kenny draft pick. We already saw on this board people irrationally calling for Kenny over Russel Wilson to start.
Steelers now must get another QB. Maybe they draft one. Maybe they sign a cheap vet like Garapolo who would fit in the system. Maybe they trade for a QB that a team gave up on.

Ahhh, but this new Steelers F.O. ... You can't look at "likely" with them. Acquiring Queen and Wilson. Trading Diontae and Pickett. Very few, if any, of us would have thought those things "likely" for the Steelers.
I'm intrigued as to what their next moves will be.

Stupid trade. We basically just gave them Pickett and it leaves us with only a 35 year old QB on our roster.
According to ESPN, which initially reported the trade, the Steelers will get the No. 98 overall pick in the 2024 draft and two seventh-round picks in 2025. In addition to Pickett, the Eagles will get the No. 120 overall pick in this year's draft.

Tannehill just makes too much sense, though, given we're talking strictly back up QB at this point with there now being no doubt Wilson will be the starter.
Trading Kenny all but ensures they'll be drafting a QB with one of their first few picks.
Mixed feelings on this. Not sure he was the guy or not. Well I guess I answered that, he is gone so he is not.
