The Pittsburgh Steelers have been working hard to solidify their quarterback depth chart. After signing Russell Wilson as their backup quarterback and trading for Justin Fields, the team has now acquired their third-string quarterback. General Manager Omar Khan confirmed that the Steelers have signed quarterback Kyle Allen, a 28-year-old who has been in the NFL since 2018.
Kyle Allen entered the league as an undrafted rookie with the Carolina Panthers and has since spent time with Washington, Houston, and Buffalo. He is best known for starting 12 games for the Panthers in 2019, showing enough potential to remain on NFL rosters as a backup quarterback. With Allen on board, the Steelers now have three quarterbacks on their roster, with the possibility of adding a fourth camp arm in the future.
In addition to signing Kyle Allen, the Steelers have also added defensive end Dean Lowry to their roster. Lowry previously played for the Minnesota Vikings, appearing in nine games with four starts last season. With these recent acquisitions, the Steelers are looking to bolster their roster and add depth to key positions as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The acquisition of Kyle Allen gives the Steelers a solid third option at quarterback and adds more depth to their position. It also allows them to continue rotating between Wilson and Fields as they look for a clear-cut starter ahead of next season.
Overall, these moves by Omar Khan show that he is focused on building a strong team that can compete for championships year after year. By adding talent like Kyle Allen and Dean Lowry, he is making sure that his team is well-prepared for whatever challenges come its way.
As we move closer to next season, it will be interesting to see how these moves play out on the field. However one thing is certain; with a solid core of players like Wilson, Fields and Lowry alongside other talented young players in key positions, this team is well positioned to make another run at glory next season.
