Steelers Next QB, Sam Darnold, More

Loads of folks are searching to find the odds on who will be the Pittsburgh Steelers next starting quarterback.

The team, for now anyway, appears to be taking baby steps.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Pittsburgh had signed veteran quarterback Skylar Thompson.

Thompson, 27, was a seventh-round draft choice of the Miami Dolphins in 2022 out of Kansas State. Over the course of his tenure, Thompson has started three regular-season games and has gone 1-2 over that stretch. He also started a playoff game for Miami in 2022 as Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined due to a concussion. For his career, Thompson has completed 58.7% of his passes with a 66.1 passer rating.

Thompson is not listed among the odds as the 2025 starting quarterback.

Instead, much of the focus appears to be on Sam Darnold, the favorite at 3-1 odds.

On Wednesday, Bleacher Report NFL insider James Palmer claimed executives around the league don't believe Darnold's market has changed all that much after two bad weeks of football.

"I talked to an executive in the AFC, an executive in the NFC yesterday and they told me the same thing, there are too many quarterback-needy teams out there to have his market dramatically change even after these two games," Palmer said. "They both told me probably the perception of his turnaround has been altered more than his market. And it's because there's more teams and there's fewer quarterbacks."

USA Today's Corey Woodruff writes of Darnold's Steelers potential:

"With a good bit of cap space, Pittsburgh could commit to Darnold for a couple of years if it feels comfortable he can run Arthur Smith’s defense. Honestly, a run-heavy approach that leans on Darnold in the play-action game could be beneficial for everyone involved."

It's interesting to note that neither the odds for who will be the next Steelers quarterback or Sam Darnold's next team have seen tremendous search inquiries, at least when compared to last week's huge interest in NFL head coaching vacancies.  Those who are, however, have mostly been arriving at the Gambling911.com website, and we love that!
