Steelers Consider Tanner McKee Trade from Eagles

0:00On this March 21st, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers face a tough quarterback spot heading into next season, with Mason Rudolph as their lone option, boasting real NFL starting, experience. Sports-illustrated writer Connor Orr recently floated an idea for them to target Tanner McKee from the Philadelphia Eagles, a late-round pick-out of. Stanford was solid upside and limited action. That suggestion gains steam after the Eagles brought in Andy Dalton, potentially opening the door to move McKee without much pushback. Fans and analysts see McKee as a potential bridge guy who could thrive under strong coaching, though sticking with Rudolph makes sense, too, since they're skillsets line up closely and his saves draft picks. Since Ben Rothisberger hung it up after the 2021 season, the Steelers have cycled through misses in drafts and free agency, leaving, then boxed in by a thin quarterback market, with no quick fixes on the horizon.
