In today's NFL, the backup quarterback may be the second-most important position, behind the starting quarterback, of course. That is probably the main reason why president Art Rooney II recently said that he expects the team to honor the final year of two-year contract.Trubisky, who started the 2022 season as Rashad Vaughn Jersey the starter before losing the job to , went 2-3 in five starts. He was especially efficient in helping the Steelers defeat the in Week 14 while playing in place of Pickett, who was injured.On paper, bringing Trubisky back makes sense. He's capable of succe sfully leading the Steelers' offense if he is called into action. He's also under contract after signing with Pittsburgh on the first official day of free agency last March.Trubisky comes with an expensive price tag for a backup, however. He carries a $10.25 million cap hit that he likely won't be willing to renegotiate. Trubisky has also made it clear that he wants a chance to compete for a starting job, so it's safe to say that he won't be thrilled with playing second fiddle to Pickett for another year. While Trubisky is in line to reprise his role as backup, the Steelers should look at Khris Middleton Jersey other options ahead of free agency. Here are the top-five quarterbacks who could fill Trubisky's role, at a more affordable rate to boot. TB QB #6 CMP%60.0YDs2163TD10INT8YD/Att6.46 Age: 27Experience:5 yearsEstimated market value: 2 years, $13 million (avg. $6.5 million per season)Mayfield's market value is still a little too high for a backup. That being said, Mayfield is a highly experienced quarterback whose experience includes a playoff win over the Steelers back in 2020. A former No. 1 overall pick, Mayfield's mobility would be an a set within Matt Canada's offense. He's still young (he turns 28 in April), so Mayfield could be Giannis Antetokounmpo Jersey a long-term backup option for Pickett. DET QB #10 CMP%62.0YDs683TD4INT4YD/Att8.65 Age: 30Experience: 9 yearsA fellow former first-round pick, Bridgewater has won exactly half of his 66 career starts (including the postseason). He's just two years removed from a solid season in Denver that saw him complete nearly 67% of his pa ses with more than twice as many touchdowns (18) then interceptions (7). A year before that, Bridgewater completed over 69% of his throws as the Panthers' starting quarterback. WAS QB #12 CMP%64.0YDs2608TD12INT6YD/Att7.07 Age: 30Experience: 7 yearsEstimated market value: 1 year, $5.5 millionMobility isn't Bri sett's game, which is why he isn't ranked higher. A former Super Bowl champion with the , Bri sett is an experienced player who has previously played for four different franchises. He threw 18 touchdowns against just six picks as the ' starting quarterback in 2019. Last year, while filling in for the during suspension, Bri sett threw twice as many touchdowns (12) as interceptions (6) in 11 starts. He's also a highly respected veteran who has served as a team leader on previous teams. John Henson Jersey IND QB #10 CMP%57.9YDs663TD3INT3YD/Att8.72 Age: 26Experience: 4years"Minshew Mania" was the talk of Jacksonville during his rookie season back in 2019. The sixth-round pick won half of his starts while entertaining fans with his play style and personality. The mania ended in 2020, however, after Minshew won just one of his eight starts. He was ultimately traded to Philadelphia, where he made three starts in two years.Minshew's 8-16 record as a starter is underwhelming, but he does have an impre sive career touchdown/interception ratio of 44/15. He hasalso completed nearly 63% of his 933 career pa s attempts. Age: 25Experience: 4 years SF QB #14 CMP%58.6YDs1143TD7INT3YD/Att8.16 Darnold has had the unenviable task of playing for two franchises who did not surround him with much Thon Maker Jersey talent. He did manage to win over half of his starts in 2019 (his second season with the ) and went 4-2 as the Panthers' starting quarterback in 2022. The former No. 1 overall pick has 61 touchdowns and 55 interceptions in 56 career games. He's 21-34 as a starter.Instead of being the focal point, Darnold won most of his games last year by not making mistakes and leaning on a solid rushing attack.
