PITTSBURGH — The Steelers are discussing the possibility of adding a quarterback when free agency begins next week, and among the considerations is a player who has not been mentioned among the myriad of names being tossed around.
Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who has started 37 games in the NFL, could be an option because of his past relationship with four current Steelers assistant coaches, including offensive coordinator Matt Canada, according to sources.
Brissett, 29, is an unrestricted free agent who started 30 games during his four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts from 2017 to 2020. He spent last season serving as a backup to Tua Tagovailoa with the Dolphins, but ended up starting five games when Tagovailoa was injured.
