    Was he cut by Buffalo? If they gave up any draft capital for this putz we need Colbert to retire already.

      Easiest team in the NFL to read, BTW. They're totally trading up for Malik Willis. Everybody knows it.

        Not mad at this. Does he give us a better chance than Mason? Does Mason request a trade now that we made this move?

          I hope he shows we are wrong, but I don't think this is a good signing. I believe is a typical Steelers move for going into the draft without pressure for a QB, but reality, add this pressure. Trubisky and MR fighting for start. Like a scary movie

            I don’t hate this at all as long as we didn’t give up much for him. Has to be an improvement over what we had.

            I’m guessing Mason will stay and compete. But who knows.

              Solid move. Don't have to reach for a QB in a average class

              Every position is in the mix in Round 1 now and creates viable trade back opportunity

                But I would have preferred Mariota. That’s just based on gut feel.

                  And still the worst QB in the division.

                    Disagree unless the clowns get rid of Baker.

                    and while Lamar is a seriously elite athlete, I’ve yet to see him throw consistently.

                    we don’t need the best QB in the division win. And the best qb in the division was not available to us anyway. So I think we’ve done the best we could for now.

                      Like it. Two year deal as a bridge QB. Steelers draft their QB of the future in 2023.

                        I'm pretty sure he's a UFA. 1 year deal with Buf last year.

                        Hope it's somewhere around what we're paying Mason this year. With an easy option to cut next year.

                        2 years make sense because we had 0 QBs under contract for 2023.

                          No down side to this signing. Don't have to reach in this draft.

                          Next year is rated as much better and deeper QB draft

                            I kind of think signing a QB now means we're not looking for a QB in the 1st...although that's what I want so I could easily just be looking for what I want to happen.

                            We'll only have 4 guys come to camp and one of them won't make the team.

                            Signing a UFA means that we'll have to cut Haskins if we draft someone.

                            Certainly not the end of the world. But if the plan is really to go all in and trade up, why not just have the draft pick play behind Mason and Haskins and save the cap space for Mitch somewhere else.

                              ....and with these two QBs (Mason and Trubisky) on the roster, the Steelers will end the season with a high enough draft pick in 2023 to get their QB of the future.
