Five quarterbacks with Super Bowl victories in their careers were among the 32 who concluded the 2023 regular season as starters.
Furthermore, it doesn’t seem like Joe Flacco, one of those players, will get another chance to start in 2024.
Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, or Patrick Mahomes were not going to be available to the Steelers to sign this summer. However, they may sign Russell Wilson, the other quarterback in the NFL’s current starting lineup to have won a Super Bowl.
They might also accomplish this without having to forfeit any draft capital.
For this reason, it made sense for the Steelers to contract Wilson. Considering how much it cost to get a quarterback in prior moves, let alone a
The Rams lost quarterback Jared Goff in 2021 along with two first-round selections, a third-round selection, and quarterback Stafford from Detroit.
In exchange for second and sixth round picks in 2023 as well as what would ultimately be a second-round pick this year for Aaron Rodgers to move from Green Bay to New York, the Packers and Jets traded first-round draft picks in 2023 during the previous summer.
And that’s not even accounting for the new contracts that the Jets and Rams have to offer theirQBs.

For the 2024 season, the Steelers have often promised to bring in competition for Kenny Pickett. Wilson was added, and it did the trick. And Omar Khan had dramatically changed the depth chart for the Steelers quarterback position after Justin Fields was acquired from Chicago the following day for a conditional 2025 draft pick, and Pickett was moved to the Eagles last Friday.
The major price was paying to acquire Wilson, Fields, two seventh-round picks in 2025, and a 2024 fourth-round draft pick from Philadelphia in exchange for Pickett, a 2024 fourth-round pick and a conditional sixth-round pick in 2025.
