The Pittsburgh Steelers were reportedly eyeing a $160 million quarterback to bolster their roster, but head coach Mike Tomlin wasted no time shutting down the idea. According to insiders, Tomlin dismissed the potential signing, stating that the team already has two capable quarterbacks and doesn’t need to add another—especially at such a steep price.
“There’s no reason to bring in another QB when we already have two guys who can lead this team,” a source close to Tomlin shared. “Spending $160 million on a single player when we have other areas to strengthen just doesn’t make sense.”
Many Steelers fans were initially excited about the rumors of a high-profile QB joining the team, but Tomlin’s reasoning has been widely supported. With significant needs in other positions, the idea of dropping a massive contract on a quarterback—when the team is already well-equipped at the position—felt unnecessary.
Additionally, sources suggest that Tomlin prefers to focus on developing the current roster rather than making a flashy, high-cost move that could disrupt team chemistry. While the identity of the $160 million quarterback remains undisclosed, it’s clear that Tomlin is sticking to his vision and prioritizing a balanced approach over headline-making signings.
For now, Steelers fans can rest assured that the team isn’t about to break the bank for another quarterback when the focus should be on building a championship-caliber squad.
