Steelers Sign Former Dolphins Quarterback Skylar Thompson
The 27-year-old QB joins Pittsburgh on a futures contract as the team faces uncertainty at the quarterback position.
- Skylar Thompson, previously with the Miami Dolphins, has signed a futures contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Thompson, a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, played three seasons with the Dolphins but struggled with consistency and injuries.
- The Steelers currently have three quarterbacks, including Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Kyle Allen, all of whom are eligible for free agency in March.
- Russell Wilson, who signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh, has expressed interest in staying but acknowledged that his future with the team is uncertain.
- Thompson is expected to compete for a roster spot, potentially as a backup, as the Steelers evaluate their quarterback options for the 2025 season.
