Welcome to Steelers Talk, your go-to source for everything Pittsburgh Steelers! I’m your host, Jack Sp, and we’ve got an action-packed episode today. From quarterback rumors to draft prospects, there’s a lot to unpack. Let’s dive right in.

Kirk Cousins to the Steelers?

The big rumor of the day involves Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins. NFL insider Mike Florio suggests that the Steelers could benefit from bringing Cousins to Pittsburgh next offseason, following his anticipated release by the Atlanta Falcons. With Cousins reportedly benched in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr., his performance has declined this season after a promising stint with the Minnesota Vikings.

Despite Cousins’ struggles and an Achilles injury in 2023, Florio believes the Steelers could snag him for a veteran minimum deal—similar to how they acquired Russell Wilson this year. Cousins’ contract situation means Atlanta might absorb a $65 million cap hit if they release him, leaving Cousins free to sign with any team. Would Cousins be a cost-effective option for the Steelers’ offense? That’s the debate among fans.

Russell Wilson vs. Kirk Cousins

Pittsburgh has seen success with Russell Wilson, but his long-term contract could be a financial hurdle. Should the Steelers extend Wilson’s deal or roll the dice with Cousins on a short-term, inexpensive contract? While Cousins has experience, critics point to his declining arm strength as a red flag. Meanwhile, Wilson’s continuity with the team gives him an edge.

Fans, we want to hear your thoughts! Would you rather stick with Wilson or take a chance on Cousins?

Why Justin Fields Could Return to Pittsburgh

Lastly, we’ll explore why Justin Fields might rejoin the Steelers as QB2 next season. While Fields has shown promise, questions remain about his consistency as a starter. Could Pittsburgh keep him as a reliable backup?
