3 quarterbacks Steelers should trade for during offseason

Now that the season is officially over, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in need of a quarterback for next year and there are plenty of options going into the 2022 offseason.

If the Steelers decide not to draft a quarterback and go the veteran route, they should look to trade for a quarterback instead of looking in free agency.

These 3 quarterbacks would be on my radar if I was Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin.

Jimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers

If the 49ers do indeed want to move on from Jimmy Garoppolo after the season, The Pittsburgh Steelers should be the first team on the line to see if they can trade for the veteran quarterback. Garoppolo will be just 30 years of age to start the 2022 season and with a serious need at the position, It would be in the best interest of the organization to trade for him.

Garoppolo finished the 2021 season with 20 touchdowns to 12 interceptions but did help his team to a playoff birth. When healthy, he is a very reliable quarterback and can be a good game manager when the team needs him to be. Once the Steelers build back their offensive line, Najee Harris can be the main piece to this offense with Garoppolo under center.

Just 3 years ago, He helped the 49ers go to the Super Bowl throwing 27 touchdowns to 13 interceptions back in 2019. That team had a great run game with a very good offensive line and I believe the Steelers can mimic that team for the 2022 season. I could see the 49ers giving up Garoppolo for either 2nd or 3rd round pick and if that is the case, the Steelers should make that trade.
