The Pittsburgh Steelers are taking just their initial steps into the offseason after suffering a playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens during Wild Card Weekend. Even in these early stages, however, the team is adding depth to what will be an intriguing position to monitor throughout the next few weeks and months.

Steelers make an early move to build up their roster with Skylar Thompson’s signing, setting the stage for the 2025 QB room.

Skylar Thompson, 27, spent his first three NFL seasons with the Dolphins after they drafted him in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Kansas State.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson, his agency announced on Tuesday. Thompson was not re-signed by the Dolphins at the end of the season and became a free agent.

The former seventh-round pick will join the Steelers as Mike Tomlin and his staff prepare to spend a second straight offseason navigating the quarterback position.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were recently eliminated from the NFL playoffs by the Baltimore Ravens. Going one-and-done in the playoffs is already a difficult way to end a season, but it likely feels worse when a division rival is responsible.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had zero QBs on their roster for approximately two days. With Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, and Kyle Allen all on expiring contracts, the team had no signal callers heading into Tuesday.
