Steelers showing faith in Will Howard with lack of QB moves? Will Connor Heyward be missed?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the Steelers' lack of moves at the QB position during NFL free agency. Is this a sign from GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy that they have faith in Aaron Rodgers' return and Mason Rudolph and Will Howard as his backups? Would Howard be a better starting option than veteran names that have been available this offseason including Malik Willis, Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray? And could the Steelers draft a rookie QB like Ty Simpson, Garrett Nussmeier, Drew Allar or Cade Klubnik who eventually pushes Rudolph out? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the tight end position. How much will Connor Heyward be missed after he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders? Does Khan now need to make a move at that position with only Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington on the roster? Or could a TE be selected from this deep draft class? And could the Steelers find the versatility Heyward offered elsewhere in the class? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
