The Pittsburgh Steelers are actively searching for a new quarterback. Amidst this search, the possibility of acquiring Matthew Stafford has surfaced. Stafford, the veteran quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, has been a topic of discussion and speculation among fans and analysts alike.
During a recent press conference at the scouting combine, Pittsburgh General Manager Omar Khan was questioned about the potential of trading for Stafford. As is customary to avoid tampering, Khan refrained from directly addressing the possibility of bringing Stafford to Pittsburgh since he is currently under contract with another team.
Khan did, however, make an interesting observation about the current state of quarterback rumors. "I’m not going to comment on specific players or things that are out there. The one thing I’ve learned is that there’s a lot of fake news out there," Khan stated. "That’s just part of what we do. But there’s a lot of fake news that’s out there. But I’ll say all options are on the table until we address our quarterback position."
Khan emphasized that the Steelers are keeping all options open in their quest for a quarterback. This statement comes in light of the fact that neither Russell Wilson nor Justin Fields is under contract for the 2025 season. While it may seem unlikely that Stafford will head to Pittsburgh, Khan’s comments suggest that the possibility is not entirely ruled out.
The ongoing search for a quarterback is crucial for the Steelers' future success. As the rumor mill continues to churn, fans can expect further developments as the team evaluates their options for strengthening their lineup.
